A musical allegory describing an inner journey from darkness to light, from being split to becoming whole.

1. The wedding song

/
Viviana and her new husband celebrate their love and sing of their hopes for a house full of children and making love every day! When joy is uppermost we do well to celebrate and enjoy our fortune.

2. Fate stirring

/
Viviana dances in the forest, hoping and dreaming about her future. Suddenly she hears the ominous words of fate, but for now, chooses to ignore it.

3. Small pretty things

/
Viviana and her husband are dreaming about their baby as every pregnant couple does. What will they name it, will it be a boy or a girl? But then their dream of parenthood crashes and falters on the rocks of fate. Viviana cries for the child that she mis-carried, and her husband mourns for the lover he has lost as Viviana retreats into herself.

4. Unrequited love

/
Viviana's husband wants to show her his love. Human beings need to be allowed to give love and much as to receive it. He hurts when she is too sad to hear him. And if we listen from the perspective of the Shadow, then even within the psyche there can be parts that want the love and recognition of other parts.

5. Raindrops

/
Crisis and opportunity come hand in hand. Viviana's grief and depression might be a possibility for her Shadow/Alter ego to make herself more visible. Our Shadow carries everything that wasn't acceptable in childhood; the good qualities as well as the bad. And it is always pushing to be more integrated. Will Viviana recognise this though, or will she only see the bad?

6. Come take my hand

/
Fate calls Viviana again, this time with a little more compassion and love. She offers Viviana the chance to enter a world of self exploration, a world where there are answers, as well as more questions.

7. Think of a Way

/
Viviana heeds the call of fate. She also hears her husband singing of the love he feels for her, but for now she must go her own way and explore what this crisis might teach her. She hopes he will be there for her when she 'returns'.

8. Welcome to your Kingdom

/
Viviana takes the plunge, and because she has many questions about the role of fate, and/or God in her misfortune, the first aspect of her self that she meets is her inner Spirit. He rocks her to her foundations.

9. Why me?

/
At first Viviana is bowled over by her inner Spirit. But then her questions arise. WHY ME? Viviana believes that if you try and be a good person you can avoid bad things happening to you. Her naivety is countered by Fate who tries to help her see that adversity is part of life, for everyone.
