Invitation While the crowd assembled, I created finishing touches to the frame of the performance, by adjusting the angle of the easy chair and moving the lamp toward the corner of the room, to create shadows and a mood. Then, as the doors closed and every eye was fixed toward me, and the chatter had died away, I stood before this assembly and smiled. It was a warm smile, and the hush had then become slightly audible, with an affectionate resonance. I stepped to the side and motioned toward the easy chair. "Have a seat and make yourself comfortable," I said. And that was it. Here is your invitation. Yours, Natalie Kagan
