Lady Fear from One, a musical September 26, 2016

Scroll to June 2016 for full musical

LADY FEAR

STOP!

(SHE stands up and looks at GENUS DEI and AMANTIA / VOICE OF REASON like SHE doesn’t recognize them, starts to move away from the table, looking around and then begins to pace in a circle. SHE stops, hesitates and begins her song called Loneliness done with a simple piano melody, classical in nature)

 

 

IT’S EARLY DAWN WITH BIRDS IN SONG

I STIR INSIDE AS I TRY AND DECIDE

LEAVE MY BEDSIDE OR GO OUTSIDE

WITH TEA IN HAND,

(She moves towards her table and picks up her cup of tea)

I SEE NOTHING FOR ME

I PREPARE TO WALK AWAY MY TEARS

SO I READY MY CLOTHES, AND HIDE MY FEARS

I PICK-UP MY CANE,

(She picks up her cane)

TO WALK PARADISE LANE

WITH ENDLESS BEAUTY AROUND ME,

AND NOTHING FOR ME TO SEE

I LIVE IN PARADISE, THIS PARADISE

 

 

SINGERS and DANCERS

NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO REALIZE

 

 

LADY FEAR

I LIVE IN PARADISE, THIS PARADISE

 

 

SINGERS and DANCERS

NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO REALIZE

 

 

LADY FEAR

ON TABLETOP OPAQUE WITH FINE GRAINS OF SAND

(Walking towards the next empty table and looking at the top of the table)

MY TEA CUP RESTS EMPTY,

(She places her cup of tea back on the table)

OF THE ONLY WARMTH AT HAND

A FLY REMINDS ME OF UNCERTAIN PEACE

(She pretends to see a fly buzzing around, swings at it and adjusts her head to miss the fly)

LIKE LIFE EACH DAY, AND BARRIERS THAT NEVER CEASE

ANOTHER ENDLESS DAY OF SILENCE, FROM PEOPLE AND ME

AS MEMORIES AND YESTERDAY FADE,

THEN BECOME VAGUE

THE BIRDS HAVE GONE AWAY

SILENT LIKE WINDS TODAY

HOW MANY MORE DAYS

WILL FREE ME FROM LIFE’S MAZE?

 

I LIVE IN PARADISE, THIS PARADISE

 

 

SINGERS and DANCERS

NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO REALIZE

 

 

LADY FEAR

I LIVE IN PARADISE, THIS PARADISE

 

 

SINGERS and DANCERS

NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO REALIZE

 

 

LADY FEAR

MY TEA CUP IS EMPTY AND TOO LONELY TO FILL

(She sits back down at the table next to her teacup)

I SIT HERE THINKING OH SO STILL

THERE’S NO ONE LOVING, NO ONE TALKING

JUST SOMEONE WALKING,

(TEMPTATION walks by, looks at LADY FEAR and smiles)

PRETENDING TO CARE

NOT A DROP OF LOVE OR RESPECT TO SPARE

I’M LOCKED IN MY THOUGHTS, AS A MOUNTAIN TO ROCKS

UNWAVERING AND BARREN, WITH SO LITTLE LIFE

I’M ALONE IN MY LONELINESS AND IT CUTS LIKE A KNIFE

 

I LIVE IN PARADISE, THIS PARADISE

 

 

SINGERS and DANCERS

NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO REALIZE

 

 

LADY FEAR

I LIVE IN PARADISE, THIS PARADISE

 

 

SINGERS and DANCERS

NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO REALIZE

 

 

LADY FEAR

(INNOCENCE comes by the table and pours another cup of tea for LADY FEAR)

MY SECOND CUP OF TEA

WILL NO ONE TOUCH ME?

(Looking up longingly at INNOCENCE. Momentary pause…..looking around)

WHILE AT HOME, ALL ALONE

            (timed to the video)

I TAKE MY CHAIR

IN A GARDEN OF PRAYER

I OPEN THE GATE, I HATE

SO I CAN SAFELY STARE

AND CHIDE

AT THE WORLD OUTSIDE

I WAIT FOR THE SUN

            (looking up to see if the sun is there)

MY ONLY FRIEND

AND MY TIME TO ASCEND

MANKIND AND WILL NEVER BREACH

NOR WILL I BESEECH

THEIR ENDLESS SPEECH

FOR NOW, MY LIFE IS OUT OF REACH

TAKE MY FEARS AWAY

I LIVE IN PARADISE, I LIVE IN PARADISE

PLEASE SOMEONE HUG ME

TAKE MY FEARS AWAY

I LIVE IN PARADISE, I LIVE IN PARADISE

 

PLEASE JUST ONE PERSON SAY

….I LOVE YOU……

….IN THIS PARADISE

….I LOVE YOU……I LOVE YOU

During the chorus of the song Sheep, the sheep actually voice themselves. THE TRIUMVIRATE stands up and moves to center stage to begin their song Sheep. DANCERS join them dressed in chains, different religious dogma, laws of government, corporation’s gadgets, cell phones, or time pieces, with wires leading to and from their bodies. AUDIENCE participation with whistles that sound like sheep when blown is encouraged by ACACIUS. The chorus words for Sheep are shown on the video screen so the AUDIENCE can sing along)

Unappreciative August 31, 2016

He’s here for a short stay. She knows him and seems like she is looking forward to the change. We will be leaving for a short sojourn of five days. He will be taking care of her.

We all like change when it looks like we’ll get what we want. Otherwise it’s painful and unwanted. It seems this change for her is “her escape”.

I’m listening to her conversation with the guest. She says ” I like to eat different things, not the same thing every day. The meals should be small. I don’t like to eat too much. I’m eighty pounds and that’s my perfect weight”.

It reveals, that as we suspected, she in her mind, feels that eighty pounds for her five foot one frame is a good weight. She would be blown away in a ten mile per hour wind, and if she turned sideways, she’d almost disappear.

Her mindset is like Fort Knox. Inflexible and like steel.

All these years I’ve fed her every morning, noon and night, varying her menu so she wouldn’t get bored with the food. Bending over backwards to accommodate every whim and wish, only to discover it all meant nothing to her. She could care-a-less. She is only interested in maintaining some illusional weight configuration in her mind that , as she sees, is perfect. I may as well be serving her ice cubes.

So after the sojourn, maybe when I return to her care taking, her meal will be a grain of rice, or a trip to Syria.

Nothing like contrast to bring a person to their senses.

Different August 26, 2016

That part of us that refuses to accept the norm. There are two axioms that ‘different’ conjure: ‘Original’ and the ‘Opposite’ from what is expected.

He’s standing there protecting that which needs no protection. I summon him with a few words of encouragement. He approaches on the auspice of ‘newness’. It works. We chat. It’s fun. We banter. We amuse ourselves in frivolity. Then, there is an addition to the equation and he leaves, but we will see him again.

It’s this initial reaction to ‘newness’ that captivates. If you can continue the captivation, you will succeed in your endeavor.

Captivation depends solely on being ‘original’. Being the ‘opposite’ of what they expect will make them yours forever.

 

Frustration July 27, 2016

 

 

Frustration is running rampant throughout our lives right now. On an international level its extremists and how to cope. On a national level it’s dealing with deep divisions in beliefs, and on a personal level its dealing with the myriad moments of daily life. Finding a solution isn’t that easy. If you ponder all of these scenarios throughout any given day, you end up with a cacophony of unending thoughts and turmoil in your mind.

Maybe the best solution is to simplify. Take the three necessities in life: food, clothing and shelter. Are these needs being supplied? And, are they being supplied at a level that does not invoke stress? If stress is involved, you must remove the stress factor or whatever is causing the discomfort. You must start from a point of peace in your mind. Searching for that peace will give you an open mind to finding peace in other areas of your life.

The world will always be there with all of its woes. Starting each day from peace will eliminate most of the frustration you feel. A pill will never cure your feelings. Money will not fix the emptiness and feeling of lack. All you can do is start over and start from the basics.

It will set you free.

Moon Over Inibition July 17, 2016

 

We live in this Cosmos.

Yet, we hide our essence like it’s not welcome.

What is Cosmos?

It entertains the idea of freedom in expansion to life.

Do we feel it?

Only when we subjugate out feelings of life as we know it.

Is it better to walk home to what we know than to open ourselves to the unknown?

If so, we remain locked into our own cage.
