Free Your Mind

PARRY:

(whispers)

Hey Jack… Jack?

(JACK remains asleep)

I had this dream Jack…I was

married. I had a wife….A

beautiful wife. I don’t remember

her face too well, but I remember

her. ’Cause she died Jack…Yeah,

she died….

(PAUSE. PARRY remembers)

And you were there…

(HE looks to JACK. BEAT)

I really miss her. Is that O.K.

Jack? Can I miss her now?’

The Fisher King, 1991

Surrender to Happiness

Fear and acceptance can deny us our ability to live. The loneliness of a crowd can consume our strength. Don’t suffer in silence and realise others can relate to loss, despair and self-blame. Mental crisis is part of the human cycle, we need to learn how to leave it behind us as a road trip, not a compass to the rest of our lives.
