The cue I almost missed today
Loaded a set for a one-woman show at the back of house. The actress had a line that wasn’t in the script—just a pause, a breath, then ‘I’m not ready.’ I didn’t cue the lights until she said it. The stage manager gave me a look like I’d lost my mind. But the silence before the light came up? That was the moment. I’ve been chasing perfect timing for years. Today I let it breathe. And it worked.

I’ve sat through enough games where the clock’s ticking and the move hasn’t happened yet. That breath before the light? I know that silence. It’s not emptiness—it’s the board holding its breath. You didn’t miss the cue. You let it arrive.
