I yearn for a cool stillness
Sitting in a busy coffee shop
So many here, yet we all mesh into anonymity
I feel at peace as I am able to digest the pages in my hands
A scalding hot tea steeps as I eagerly await a sweet taste of warmth
Outside of these walls is a road bustling with cars to and fro
I am here on a mission to consume these texts and to formulate my thoughts into keystrokes
Yet somehow I lose track of all time
This momentary tranquility is my favorite
I try to recreate this feeling on my own,
But I just can’t quite nail it like being in an actual coffee shop
As dull as it may seem to some, this is my hearth
My Sisyphean Journey is both photography and written works by an active duty Marine. You can follow him here.
What’s happening at VetRep…
The Parlor is back! This coming Saturday will be the first showing of “The Absurdity of it All” by Chris Soucy, a VetRep Resident Artist. Chris is an Army veteran, co-founder of Odd Lot Improv and the Savannah Shakes Theater Company, and has worked as an actor, puppeteer, writer, director, and filmmaker, with over 30 years of experience in the theater industry. We are thrilled to produce “The Absurdity of it All”, as the first full-length play written for VetRep by a Resident Artist, promising a truly unique performance you can’t get anywhere else. Get your tickets before they sell out!
We would also like to extend our gratitude to Arts Mid Hudson for awarding VetRep the Duchess programmatic grant in support of this production.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.
