| [00:03.59] | Backbone Practice |
| [00:35.77] | we are entering the operation theatre of the ramiliar morgue |
| [00:41.77] | the student nurses are making a lot of noise |
| [00:47.02] | their voices echo from the bare tiles walls... |
| [00:50.70] | I improvise a fainting fit: "I cannot bare these voices anymore...! |
| [00:59.82] | the tiny spineless spider, who really is a dog |
| [01:04.65] | has hurt herself - or did she get hurt ?- somthing 'bout her back... |
| [01:10.00] | oh, does she need a new one?Torso-less she only does consist of legs... |
| [01:17.10] | much like a crushed little cross, a tiny crucifix |
| [01:22.39] | so cautiously she's stalking now across the palm of my right hand |
| [01:28.27] | merly a thin branch in the wind |
| [01:31.19] | touching the wound... where i had cut my finger |
| [02:24.03] | i hand her over to the nurses, one of them - directed me by the teacher |
| [02:30.55] | carries out the operation, for which i dont have the knowledge |
| [02:36.56] | one day everyone here must fulfill this very task alone |
| [02:42.21] | as it's the only way to learn and in the end become a master |
| [02:48.58] | yes, this means responsibility |
| [02:51.89] | and it's connected directly to stress and fear |
| [02:59.46] | the little spider has her operation on a table |
| [03:04.91] | that is decorated like a forest, all with thicket and fir trees |
| [03:11.64] | and right beside the flashing lights and displays of the instruments |
| [03:17.39] | so hear now of the very scene thet happend right before this (here) |
| [04:12.57] | an elephant on the plane roof of a tall cathedral very close to the edge |
| [04:18.68] | "climb down his tail, as if it were a rope! |
| [04:21.83] | have faith and confidence, belive that he will hold you! |
| [04:28.81] | but the elephant is not anchored in the ground |
| [04:31.96] | yes, he might have the will to remain in position |
| [04:35.08] | perhaps doing everything within his power to hold me |
| [04:39.37] | not to slip and fall himself... |
| [04:42.46] | but in my opinion this is hardly enouth |
| [04:44.75] | can this be a question of trust, at all? |
| [05:01.80] | looking out of the window, while the underground moves down |
| [05:05.99] | into the tunnel - a man, who has alrady passes the elephant-test, says:… |
| [05:10.59] | "fear must be conquered, boy! |
| [05:14.01] | many of what comes up are merly old fears of death! |
| [05:27.46] | "fear must be conquered, boy! |
| [05:30.77] | many of what comes up are merly old fears of death! |
| [05:44.40] | "fear must be conquered, boy! |
| [05:47.45] | many of what comes up are merly old fears of death! |
