SHONDA!

Stars are celestial bodies surrounded by
planets and moons that are drawn into their orbits by their own extreme
gravitational pulls. The larger and more
brilliant the star… The more planets and
moons in their orbits. In our world, we
call people who shine for many of us to see; we call them stars. Well, normally I write about spiritual topics
or outright comedy and try to tell entertaining spiritual stories and even do
my best to spread what I feel are pearls of wisdom… This time I have chosen to talk about a
current star in our universe who herself has several planets and moons drawn
into her orbit and assist in letting us all know that she is a star of
reckon… And that star is the writer
Shonda Rhimes who continually dazzles me with her words conveying dynamic
stories and who has occasionally inspired me to think about filing a class
action law suit to compensate for the loss of salt to my body when she draws a
constant flow of fluid salt drops from my eyes with her various plot
manipulations that drive my soul to say, “Why!?”
I’ll never forget the first time she made
me cry. It was when she used an oft
favored ploy of hers of killing off a beloved character… It was the young and passionate doctor known
as ‘Dr. George O’Malley’ that was struck by a bus in an accident that left him
unidentifiable to his fellow doctors as they unknowingly treated him as a
tragically disfigured patient that none of them even knew was there
coworker… The simple tragedy in my world
as I watched the story unfold; I knew it was him from the beginning as they
stood over his bed and pitied the poor ‘supposedly’ unknown soul they were
tending… I sat in my living room bawling
my eyes out and silently screaming in pain through tears, “That’s him! That’s
George!” I love her for making me feel
so deeply for fictional characters that bring life… The beauty is that she has the ability to
make one feel. That is all you can ask
for from a writer and that is all a writer can ask for from themselves; to make
people feel.
Now she has given birth to this incredible
creature that is played by one of the planets in her celestial system named
Viola Davis! My God, no one in the world
could have brought this character named Alysse to life in such a manner other
than Viola and that is what a good planet does.
A good planet that is supported by a star like Shonda lets you know; you
can only live life on my surface! And
the character of Alysse seems like she could only have breathed life on the planet
of Viola!
There is never a time that I have seen
Viola Davis take off her wig and ‘face’ in the show ‘How To Get Away With
Murder’ that I haven’t just stared in awe at this beautiful planet called Viola
with complete awe… She is a masterpiece
in humanity and thank the Universe that we all get to see her share her
humanity with us in such a remarkable way.
You might say that aesthetically Viola is not what is considered an
attractive woman to you; but to me when she takes off her face of makeup and
wig and looks in the camera with an unmatched dignity, I see one of the most
beautiful people on the planet staring at me.
This is a woman who knows and loves herself without the denial of others
beauty. She is accepting of HER beauty
and it is real. I actually love her.
Okay, I’m going to let this Shonda thing
lay because I could go on and on and she still hasn’t answered my calls to be
one of her showrunners, but keep in mind…
If you haven’t made yourself aware of this woman’s abilities than you
need to get on it!
