Embracing The
Root is a tribute to the healing powers of nature and plants. It is a
music-dramatic story about a human being who has lost her way in a life built
on too much fast living, too high ambition, too little peace of mind and too
little spiritual connection with nature, which also means her own
being. She holds a leash for a dog in her hand, with a collar in the end,
but no dog. She does not remember her dog, her name, where she lives or if she
has a family...
Oh My God
I would never have thought
that I would be so
lost in
lost in my way
Oh my God
I would never
have thought
I would be so
lost in the shadow
within me
where is
the sign for my home
where is the sign for
me to read
me to find home
I am lost in the woods
I am lost in the shadows
of my days and nights
The woman
finds her self totally lost in this woods, and desperately trying to find her
way home, wherever that is, but no matter how hard her efforts, she
keeps on ending up at the foot of the same tree, an old oak in the depths of
the forest. Being so lost, drives her totally mad, and she starts to feel great
fear at being surrounded by nature, especially as its spirit seems to begin to
speak to her. The old oak tree is speaking as if it is inside of her mind,
speaking with a language she has never heard before, and a consciousness and
connections between life and living species, that she has never thought of in
her wildest dreams. And yet - it seems to connect her with some powers of
her own, that she fears - and also longs for - so strong.
To hug a tree
Take me to a place
with no sound
take me to a place
of silence
Take me to a place
where I can meet myself
I fear the power of this ground
I try not to listen
I try not to feel
It is confusing
It turns me over
Take me to a place
with no-one to see
how frightened I am
Take me to my death
without me knowing
that it is happening to me
I just want to lie down in this grass
I feel something growing
below my feet
to hug a tree
Powerful,
like me ..

As a parallel to Orpheus descending she enters a wild world in motion habited by roots and underground life. Here she is confronted by an intelligence that seems to mirror the endlessness of the universe. And it shares its powers of communication with her, revealing a superior and multi creative intelligence below the ground, an underground internet that reaches further, deeper and faster than humans have ever imagined.
