I love mask and masking, and will try to post some pics in the future. I also love transformations of all sorts and transformation art. If I could draw, I'd load this place up, oh well.....

Beetlejuice, Mom, and Home....
a year ago
Me and Seaweed got to go see Beetlejuice: The Musical last week and it was an absolute blast. The entire cast was Broadway worthy with not a weak link in the bunch. The story was a bit jumbled toward the end, but the trip through the story was so much fun it's easy to overlook. And yes, the story takes radical departures from the movie while still keeping faithful to the characters and spirit. I'd especially recommend the musical if you were a fan of the old animated series.
Now, there are many memorable and funny songs in the play, but one which struck home for me is Home - Lydia's big number right toward the end of the story. Here are the lyrics:
Home:
Mama, I could use some help here
Tired of talking to myself here
Back at home, you don't exist
So here I am in the abyss
Are you really in this place?
It's like the emptiness of space
I could search for all eternity
And never see your face
Help me out
I'm lost without you
Standing
Stuck on this impossible road
No idea which way to go
Whichever path I choose
I lose, you know
And I don't know which way's home
Oh-oh
I don't know which way's home
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You always saw life as a game
But since you left, it sucks to play
I'm beaten up and bruised
Confused by rules that alter every day
Where to next?
You left but I'm still standing
Spinning on this infinite road
Terrified of letting you go
No light above and there's no hope below
And I don't know which way's home
Mom, I've got my heart in my hand
Speak to me and I'll understand
One little word to know I'm not alone
And show me the way back home
Oh-oh
Is there a way back home?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The nothingness ahead of me
Is this the end you meant for me?
Every living minute
There's no home without you in it
I'm falling, quit stalling
Your daughter is calling your name
I've burned all my bridges and games
Mom?
I don't wanna forget you
I promise
I'm never gonna forget you
I'm gonna go back home
Adam, Barbara, Delia and Dad
It's messy but they're all that I have
I'll make the best of being flesh and bone
Mama, I'm going home
Yeah
Mama, I'm going home
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm going home
Mama, I'm going home
I lost my mother 7 years ago this July. The hole it left in my heart never heals, but if filled by our love for each other and the memories of all the good times we shared. This song speaks to me SO hard it physically hurts. On one hand, I wish I had it when I lost her, but at the same time I am not sure I would have been ready for it then. "When the student is ready, the teacher shall appear." I've learned. I'm living my best life, I'm loving and enjoying as much as I can of what this world allows me to. I'm both going home, and already there.
Thank you for everything mom.
