Terra Firma

Measure 1-16
(Man sitting under a tree in the middle of a park, wearing a rain coat and an oversized rain hat. He has a camping bag filled with clothes and he is staring at the ground.)


Measure 17-32
(Man is walking off down a dark road in Arkansas. Trees are completely surrounding the area, which allows him to finally feels isolated from the world. –Maybe rain?)
Narration: It’s all over now. I have left this world. There is no returning this time. My family, friends, technology: all forgotten. I am returning to the jungle. As the Lysergic acid diethylamide enters my system, I am touched by the hands of my ancestors and reminded that we humans were put here for a much greater purpose than destroying the earth and savaging the land. All I need are my hands and feet, no concrete street. A home of sticks and stones, and most of all peace. A place to breath, a place to eat and a world where I’m actually free. I’m returning to an earth that believes.


Measure 33-40
(Man cutting down a tree to construct a small sheltered area to sleep in, hunting for food with a spear and building a fire pit to cook on in a highly wooded area.)


Measure 41-60
(Man standing on the edge of a cliff, yelling at the gods.)
Narration: I have found my place of rest, A breath beneath my chest, salvation at it’s best. I have conquered death a million times from stress. I scream at the God’s: leave me blessed.


Measure 61-90
(Man sitting next to a lake writing a letter)
Narration: To the people I love, I’ll be ok. Alone on this mountaintop, there’s no pain to decay. I’ve started my new life; actually it’s just begun. Never again the feeling of wanting to run. Believe in me and believe in this earth, for I have reconnected with a most perfect worth. Maybe a day will come filled with recognition of what wrong we’ve done. Until this day I will remain in the valley of one. (Walks off into the wooded area, and briefly looks back.
