    The "essential thread" is just the nature of what underlies our everyday experience and connects it to its ultimate source, purpose, and meaning.

    Sometimes in his career . . . Brook seems to be intentionally cultivating that inner source.

    But other times . . . he seems to be distracted by outer forms that are only superficially & remotely connected to it.

    He doesn't appear to have the capacity to tell the difference. He doesn't seem to know what he's doing . . .

  • @greenrate Please define the "essential thread of things" and explain how he "somehow lost" it.

  • @chelios58 Geeez. Why are you so easily offended? Do you go around looking to be offended?

  • @greenrate Your grammar offends me. Especially when you are trying to sound clever.

  • Somewhere . . . at some time . . . Peter Brook somehow lost the essential thread of things.

    Hard to say now whether he was never really capable of realizing it . . . or whether he betrayed that capability.
