It’s night on a deserted beach. A strong wind throws grains of sand against the figure of an old man, who silently walks by the shoreline, with a staff in his hand. And he walked the whole night for seven years until he realized he was tired. At the very moment he stopped, the wind ceased and a full moon began to rise over the sea. Facing it, he started to draw a big circle with the staff, writing four words in the sand: Passion. Courage. Reason. Intuition. After closing the first circle, he restarted drawing the words, round and round, over and over, for seventy years. As the moon completed its path across the sky, disappearing at the opposite side, he stopped walking. Then he sat in the center of the circle, and fell asleep. After sleeping for seven hundred years he was awakened by the light of the sun. Around him, the words and the footsteps had been erased by the action of the tide. Beneath a clear blue sky, he took the staff and began to walk again by the seashore. This time the man walked for seven thousand years until he felt tired. As the sun completed its path across the sky, falling at the opposite side, after seventy thousand years walking, he stopped as the wind ceased. And now. Two full moons rose over the sea. Facing them, he draws a new big circle writing those same four words. And as it had happened before, he draws the words, walking round and round for seven hundred thousand years. When the two moons completed their path across the sky, he stopped walking. He lays on the sand. And falls asleep again. -------- Waking up at daybreak The Old Man found himself drenched by the tide. The words he wrote in the sand Had disappeared Washed by the waves The shore was intact As if nobody had stepped on it for a long long time As if it were waiting for Someone to take new steps To draw new shapes No one to talk to No delight, no pain, no nothing to recall Just the sand, just the sea And a new path to find. Silent thoughts and brilliant insights Travel across his boundless mind And the Old Man takes his staff in his hand Seeking for brand new quests No fear in the heart He’s ready to go. Passion, Courage, Reason, Intuition are his words After sleeping for so long He awakes And retakes his walk, he’s alone. He's alone again. (Narration - Part II) Days and nights came and went. Another circle. The same words. Seven times he repeated this cycle. Seven moons rose over the sea. Then at the first day of a new cycle, He saw another Old Man walking in his direction. As they get closer, they stopped and looked each other. Turning to the sea, they sat side by side. That night, seven moons rose. The Old Men didn’t fall asleep. They stared to the horizon. And after seven million years, the day broke. Two suns rose over the sea.

i - The Barber And The Black Rooster Smile, you little human, smile, for you're sane. By the way, what's sanity? They don't care about it. In fact, they worry about nothing. They can't appreciate the countless sunrises over the countless mountains. And they don't waste their time to decide which is more important to the picture: whether the sun or the mountains. You look a little sick, don't you? Take a rest for a couple of centuries. Maybe when you wake up, you may find out something that makes you better comprehend … the meaning of life. Once there was a time when planet Earth was thought to be flat. When people in England believed there was nothing beyond the cliffs of the very southwest part of their island – nothing but the infinite sea. That region was called “Land’s End”. That’s precisely where this story takes place. Land’s End, summer of 1402, southwest of England. Nearby, there was the small town of Sennen, Where a man was about to commit ahn.. insanity. It's Monday morning, He opens his window to let the sun in Ears in the air, and eyes in the sky There was something he had to do He walks in the street, bare feet. Holding their breaths, All the people around in astonishment Were trying to guess what the hell he would do Hidden behind their doors: Katherine Ward, embroiderer, 27: “Look at him, his eyes don’t blink...” Cedric Ward, her son, 6: “Funny his pyjamas, mummy!” Colin Withers, locksmith, 35: “Well, I think he’s just drunk!” Carrying a whip in one hand And a huge knife in the other Leonard, the barber, 66 Crosses the fence of the mayor’s house Runs through the side corridor Rushes to the backyard: “Cock-Cock-a-doodle-doo!!!” Stepping into the hen house, He sees a big black rooster inside. Eugene Brackenbury, the mayor, 61: “The Devil caught his soul!” Ethel Brackenbury, his wife, 58: “The Anti-Christ is here!” Reverend Hammett, the vicar, 75: “It’s the Day of The Lord!” Charles Melton, the acolyte, 20: “God, please save me first!” The rooster started to run around the yard, trying to flee from Leonard, who was frenetically trying to catch it. In one of the turns, it found a way out to the street. So the race continued throughout the town. So the black bird spreads its wings upon the sea, Flying over the clouds, Far beyond the stars, Through the outer space, Towards the unknown. Leonard: “I can see my bridges burning far behind. As I turn and look back, The man I used to be Gets lost in the past.” ---------- ii - Flying Fauna Far from Earth, higher and higher above, the rooster continued leading Leonard. Now he finds himself inside something like a translucent capsule, connected to the rooster’s legs by means of some sort of an also translucent wire - an enchanted version of his old whip. During the flight, he could see other beasts carrying other voyagers, all protected by the same structures. Out of the solar system, he could see a bright vast concentration of stars, in the form of a disk - the center of the Milky Way. He presumed his capsule was being transported directly into the center of that bright white region. As he approached the center of the galaxy, in a certain moment he could clearly distinguish, right in front of him, a small black point. At the same time, he began to hear the distant sound of a simple pretty melody. -- Fauna’s Fugue -- Closer and closer, as the black point became larger, so the music sounded louder. Soon all animals were singing in a massive choir. In fact, the black region proved to be a vortex, like a big mouth, attracting everything into its center, a black hole. As they approached, the flight speed was tremendously increased by its gravitational effect. And so they reached the final boundary - the event horizon. The music continued to play, now in reverse order. The animals dropped the capsules and disappeared, letting them inevitably to be swallowed. Now the millions of capsules travel through the black hole. Leonard looks around and sees the other capsules vanish before his eyes, as he penetrates into deep darkness. ---------- iii - White Spaceship The String Theory - travel between parallel universes with wormholes. Could black holes be portals to other universes? Do black holes contain other universes? Equations predict that our universe may sit in another universe's black hole. Now Leonard and his human fellows, each one inside his capsule, fly across the singularity. He watches his body to be stretched like a spaghetti. But he feels no pain. He recalls no memories. He's just a negligible part of that scenario. He doesn't know yet, but soon he'll be about to test the String Theory. After a while, Leonard’s eyes capture a tiny white point ahead. The black-to-white journey had begun. The sensors of my eyes Detect a tiny sign. It's very real But I refuse to believe. Getting closer Growing and shining more and more. Limits of my sight Obliterate my reason Entangled in its essence Exposed to the unknown I can only trust This white spaceship Knows exactly where to land I sense my body changing fast I’m feeling so stretched Pain is an old story I’m about to forget Can recall no memories from my past No matter how hard I try Time moves so slowly Nothing here makes sense The white point grows ahead Approaching more and more But I feel safe inside my capsule With peace and confidence The moment seems crucial Have no thoughts in mind The symbiosis is completed I'm at the speed of light In a certain moment, Leonard sees a tiny black vortex being formed at the centre. Spinning in the opposite direction of the white vortex, rapidly growing its size, the new black hole was attracting all capsules back to the dark space from where they entered. The String Theory was right. At the end of the white-to-black journey, Leonard was thrown again into the dark space. And guess what was waiting for him? ---------- iv - The Puzzle and The Last Supper Once more the Black Rooster takes the control of the capsule and leads Leonard back to… guess what? Old Mother Earth. As he entered the atmosphere, the white capsule slowly began to melt as it began falling. Touching the ground in a smooth landing, the capsule completely dissolved. And now he found himself alone on a vast green plain, dressed in… pyjamas… … a very different Earth received him in Her arms. Back down to Earth So tired, he fell asleep On a plain of grass And then he dreamed He was inside a castle Trapped in a cage Hanged in the air When he woke up He was down at the bottom of a well Whose walls were made of red clay Looking above, By climbing he realized He could not scape Looking around He found a passage Dug down in the wall It was so tight, so narrow The only way There was no choice Except going through that hole Inside in a wider hall He found a rope down on the ground It seemed to indicate some path So he took it in his hands The hall was the anteroom of what seemed to be a cave. In front of him, there was a long dark corridor, carefully built by someone who probably wanted to show the way out, leaving the rope as a guide. Like Perseus in the Labyrinth, Leonard entered the cave, following his Ariadne’s thread. Walking inside, the walls began to melt around him turning its red clay. Red drops of the red liquid turn into a red mud, then into a red stream and then into a red river, that dragged him down making him to submerge. Strange, but he could breathe. Then he started to feel pressure and some pain, as he was forced to pass through the tunnel, which was becoming narrower and narrower. Now he hears the distant screams of a woman. The pain became unbearable. When finally, he was expelled from the tunnel into an empty room. This room had a door that led to another room with another door to the next room, and so on. Twelve rooms connected by twelve doors, making a circle, so the twelfth door led to the first room - a mandala. In the first room, he learned to speak In the second, he wanted to eat In the third, he learned to read In the fourth, he wanted to breed In the fifth, he was a king, sitting on a throne In the sixth, he was a humble servant In the seventh, he saw love In the eight, he saw justice In the ninth, he was a priest In the tenth, he was wise In the eleventh, he saw people marching with their flags In the twelfth, he saw their spirits Outside the well He fluctuated Freely in the air And from above He saw his naked body Tied to a wooden table Scared, nothing could be done He was lost in that nightmare Maybe somewhere Between life and death Animals of all species Suddenly appeared from every side Around the table They just wait… Knives fall from the sky! The Builder: “Come to my arms Take my hand I'm full of grace Lay your troubles over me Feel the beat of my heart This is the end for mankind There will never be Another chance To start again” Genesis, 1:1-31 (as told by Leonard) 1 In the beginning Leonard created the hen and the farm. 2 And the farm was without form, and void. And darkness was upon the fence of the farm. And the Spirit of Leonard moved upon the fence of the farm. 3 And Leonard said, 'Let there be the light'. And there was the lamp. 4 And Leonard saw the lamp, that was good. And Leonard divided the light from the darkness. 5 And Leonard called the light Rooster, and the darkness he called Owl. And the evening and the morning were the first day. ..... 31 After six days, Leonard had created many things. And at the end, he saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was the best thing he could do. Finally, after sleeping the whole weekend, Leonard is waked up by his old friend - “Cock-a-doodle-doo!” Cedric Ward, Katherine Ward’s son, 6: “Mummy, who came first - 'twas the hen ? 'twas the egg ? or both ?”

Don’t Look Back Seek Your Path It's Time You Must Burn All Bridges

i - Hot Sands of Bethany, 33 A.D. (Asleep) Lazarus of Bethany considered himself a man of simple thoughts, and simple things. But also he always considered to himself that he had some destiny, that he was someone with a special purpose. One day he had a dream, where he was wandering alone over the hills near his home. Unhappy because he was alive, after being resurrected by his friend Jesus of Nazareth, to testify His miracle. Unhappy, because during the short period that he was dead, he encountered his soul mate at the Parnasum, and they found completeness in their love. But at a sudden, he was resurrected, finding himself in the cold grave where his body was left. Devastated in this nightmare, he waked up, sobbing. The days that followed showed a very different man, haunted by that dream, perhaps more than a dream. ---------- ii - Far From The Grave (The Journey) John, 11:1-14 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. His sisters sent unto him, saying, “Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.” When Jesus heard that, he said: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.” Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was. Then after that saith he to his disciples: “Let us go into Judaea again.” His disciples say unto him: Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?” Jesus answered: “Are there not twelve hours in the day ? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.” These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples: “Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.” Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, “Lazarus is dead.” ---------- iii - Soulmates in Parnassum (Death After Life) (a) Uncertainty (Instrumental) (b) Arrival Once there, He recovers his senses again At the end of the journey, Time seems to have stopped And now, In that strange place, he wants to be sure If those forms of life he sees Are real or not He’s dead But somehow he feels good Someone comes near And Lazarus exults: Lazarus: "My love, am I still alive? How did I get here? In this place full of lights You’re the brightest of all Many nights have I dreamed of you Many tears have I shed Now at last my handcuffs Have all been dissolved" (c) Happiness (Instrumental) (d) Fulfillness Lazarus:
 "Excited Contented I see my Self." Lazarus’ beloved: 
 "Built by the sands of time Our love still grows - eternal flame Someday I feel We shall be joined as one" Lazarus: 
 "So freely So plainly We see our souls" Beloved:
 "How can we be so sure If life seems far to be understood Much wider than our vision can embrace?" (e) Resignation Beloved:
 "Keep inside your ecstasy You must be very strong Your people is waiting for you They have to see you alive For this is the way their minds They shall see the power of God.
" Lazarus and Beloved: "They shall see the power of God" 
Lazarus: "If these words I'm hearing now Match the plans of God It won’t be easy To accept my fate Oh, why did He choose me?" ---------- iv - The Return (Life After Death) Lazarus: "Why me? Out of a billion souls Am I the chosen one? An after-death, an after-life Just to testify the Son of Man I can see Very clearly now My destiny at last To be a part Of some bigger plan Pursuing my quest Like a tiny piece Of a puzzle I must do my best To find out What’s my role In this play It's cold I feel so bad in this dark grave From the deep of the cave My body rises once more You all! Now you got me back to this world again My beloved, I miss so much But now I know how to find her Maybe today I'm very sad With everything that in this world I see But now that I knew the other side All the things are clear to me Life goes on and on - it never ends That’s the way it has to be And the Cords of Life Keep weaving forever"

Where did it go That ever-smiling face
 We used to see in our mirror?
 We used to dream most of the time And we spent the days just playing our happy games
 And it was so easy to move on
It was so simple to understand 
 That life wants
 Nothing more… than staying alive. From where I stand 
I watch my body laid so peaceful
I know
 That
 Soon this old mass of flesh and bones Will turn into ashes So that Life can thrive and start
 Again Have courage, Be kind
