If you could boil that way of being -- what you described in the above paragraph -- down to a word or two, what would you say you were BEING in those moments?

I don't know
let me think...
secure?
I was holder of a scholarship, so I had no financial worries and could do whatever I wanted. I knew I would have enough to pay the bills and could focus entirely on my work. Plus I stayed backstage, in the shadow. No contact with the public, with customers or many other strangers. Just my little team of familiar faces and that's it. I was living in a protected world.
creative?
He acted like I wanted him to, I managed the lights, I had ideas and influenced the stage direction. What happened wasn't only my creation, but part of it was. I was expressing myself through my work. I think that made me very happy. In no other job have I been really able to express myself.
Is that what you wanted to know?
