I wanted to say
How lonely it is in this institution
The yellow walls are bright
But I feel alone inside them
Can’t you help me out here?
I’m stuck on this hill
The sun shines in the windows
But my face is turned away
And all I can see are these walls
Would you like to leave, Spirit?
Yes, I would
What’s stopping you?
My parents put me here….
What if they come back to find me
And I’m not here when they come?
How will they find me?
I don’t want to miss them
But you’ve died spirit. They can’t come and find you because your body is no longer here
Oh
Did you not know that?
No
There’s nothing keeping you here now. You can leave any time
And my parents?
They have you in their heart. You’ll always be with them there.
But what happened to me?
Why did I die?
Why did they leave me here?
Spirit. Your mind was very challenged. They felt it was best if you came here to rest a while: to find some peace and quiet. You were very disturbed outside these walls. You felt comfort only when you were confined and they couldn’t confine you at home.
Do you recall that now?
Yes. The wide-open spaces were too much for me….
But I missed them
I didn’t want to be without them
I hear you, Spirit.
I witness your confusion
Can they forgive me?
What for, spirit? What would you like forgiveness for?
For my fear
There is nothing to forgive, they say. They are only sorry they couldn’t do more to comfort you.
Do we forgive each other then?
Yes, Spirit. Can you find peace?
Yellow light
Painted walls
Blue light
Moving on
Cool night air
Horse – breath rising
Night sky
Amen
(In shamanic practices throughout the world, Horse enables the spirit to fly through the air and reach heaven.)
