Eileen.

Please stop by the church to see my in a few days.

Please.

Now is the time to surround yourselves with the

love, peace, and strength that the Lord gives to you.

So I'll see you both in a few days?

Take care of your mother Anna.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry. I recognize you. Have we ever met?

I'm his dealer Cecily.

I sold Nathan many fine pieces through the gallery.

Hey mom. I'm going to go wait in the car.

Magnificient and proud, and now? Reduced to ashes!

Now Buddy... you know you are inclined to exaggeration.

Listen darling! If things continue the way they are

we're going to have to call off the whole fucking sha-bang!

I'm on my way.

Cecily, darling look at you in your cunty little bolero jacket

you look divine!

Hello Buddy.

Have a seat. You're cafe' is percolating.

As our your thoughts on you art show.

The afflicted drama of it all. Never ending!

You know how it is Cecily. Tortured artist loses his muse

and then...

So find a new one.

A new one? One doesn't simply find a muse darling;

A muse presents itself to the artist and so far?

No one is knocking on this old queen's door!

Oh Buddy.

The show must go on.

Certainly you have enough pieces to work into

a presentation.

Think of all the times this has happened before.

And it always worked, because, well..you

made it work. So do that now. Make it work.

Failure is not an option.

OK.

Activate "diva mode".

So. What about you Cecily?

Last time we talked, my child, you were feeling abit "off".

Yes. Well...

Is it with piece that moves you?

Yes but it's not just the artwork.

Art serves as a great excavator of human emotions.

Raising to the surface that which either true.

Well... um...

Well I don't see why not.

Yes. Very good then.

She was my miracle baby. I thought i couldnt have children.

I never married but i dated a man for awhile.

Needless to say... we weren't very careful.

I thought what was there to protect? Doctors deemed

me infertile.

Then... by the grace of God... Gabriella came along.

She was a fun, beautiful child.

Very unique; like you seem.

She was placed at the gifted program at school

she was so far ahead of her peers.

Gabriella was a ballerina. An artist. My world.

My heart and soul.

For a more indepth examination.

I will let Nola know to get ahold of you...

regarding my inquiries.

Nola. I have not seen you some time. How long

have you been working with Oliver?

Yes dear. I do think we should talk.

As I feel I have a buyer for this piece.

But... somebody who would not settle on market prices.

Let's step into my office.

Cecily!

May I see you again sometime?

Back for round two?

Well yea. Drawing and writing actually.

I have an affinity for creating martial arts-based comic

characters. Each with a different skill.

One is a kata master, another knows kung fu.

Very creative. I like that.

It's nice to have a creative outlet.

Yes. Well it's more than that for me.

It's almost like therapy.

Hmm. I'm not sure I follow.

Well what I mean is; sometimes my thoughts get the

best of me.

Recent events in my life have...

made me feel like I'm spinning, spiraling into a dark place.

This... lifts me to a place where I feel alive again.

Like there is some sort of purpose.

I am involved in the art world myself.

Really?

I am an art director at Mison' de la Art Galli.

And I like to make art myself sometimes.

Looks like we have stuff in common.

Yes well. I must excuse myself. I have to use the restroom.

I aint never done good in the romance department.

The ladies... they want to wrangle with... you know.

I'm surprised to see so many men here.

Well we men want a happy, healthy relationship just like

the next female.

We just have a hard time expressing needs or

being in touch with our feelings as do our female

counterparts but both sexes struggle with that at times.

Everybody's different.

But that's not a bad thing.

That is very well put.

I am here for help.

And I admit this is not the most natural experience for me.

But i will speak frankly in hopes that yourself or another

group member may have some insights to share with me.

I'd rather not reveal to many details at this point.

I hope to have my audience "get it" at the opening.

Hmmm. uh-huh. I see. Well I'd like to be there.

So what else is new?

As am I.

I find it strange you're wearing sunglasses indoors.

Could you remove them perhaps?

My eyes are sensitive to the gallery lighting.

Oliver is relentless Cecily.

He calls late at night drunk, requiring me to be his

entertainment for the evening. Then the next day, I'm

required to be responsible for all of his personal needs.

Oliver did this to you?

If only it was that simple...

No. I have a husband. One of which is

unemployed. Depends soley on my income.

So I confided in him regarding Oliver's behavior and this...

was his response. He finds me cheap and disgusting.

And tainted... by Oliver's hands.

Whatever fillment they gave you was only fleeting.

Now I am here to give you something eternal and permanent.

True freedom.

Well..I'm not sure what exactly you talking about

but it sounds wonderful.

And I hope we can continue all of this...

So darling, when are your pieces finally going to be

ready to show? I've already picked out my ensemble! I hope

it's still in style for the opening!

Buddy you know you can't force great art.

Besides, my art is a visual representation of my life's purpose.

And lately I have been questioning everything!

Immensely.

Hello. I'm Sarah Ann. I have a very important message

for you today.

So as you can see, this is a message that can increase

the meaning of your life... and your relationship with God.

Excuse me. I was just baking some cookies.

Would you like some tea?

Please.

What of the stories of Moses and Jobe?

Those who recieved direct guidance from God.

They were specific cases... made to serve a purpose.

How can you compare yourself to their level?

Come. I have something to show you.

Can you feel it Sarah Ann?

Can you feel the soul of God in this room?

This is where communion takes place.

And I must trust the power of God i feel moving through me.

This is great. I knew it was a good idea for us to get

to know each other better.

Yes. Worth the time and effort it seems.

So. I'm interested in knowing more about your art Cecily.

Well I don't like to speak much of my creative endeavors...

I'd rather let my art speak for me.

But if you would like to speak of your work,

I am more than happy to listen.

In fact, I'm quite intrigued by what i have heard thus far.

My work is an extension of what I'm feeling.

And my soul.

It's the only way I can express myself really.

Sometimes i feel so vunerable Cecily...

This is hard for me to admit but...

I trust you. I don't know why but for some reason... I do.

I have been through some very challenging experiences

through my upbringing as well as my romantic relationships.

Growing up, neither of my parents were in the picture.

The only family i had was my Grandmother.

And she could not care for a young child on a daily basis.

Where's Doctor Wagner?

Can you believe this Cecily? Just when i thought

I had someone reliable in my life.

So you mean to tell me Doctor Wagner never arrived tonight?

Buddy, It's Cecily.

I came to counseling before my show tonight and

my instructor is absent.

It is very strange of him to cancel without notification.

Anyway I was hoping we could talk before my show tonight.

I'm feeling abit anxious about such a prominent reveal

and my feelings for Lucas are part of the issue.

Please call me back so we can discuss things before I go

on tonight.

I hope you will attend the opening as planned Buddy.

Goodbye.

"Cecily, I've had an emergency come"

up with my dear mother. I'll be with you spirit tonight!

I hope your show will be wonderful! See you soon!

Buddy.

And Doctor Wagner missed a very important meeting.

Everyone seems to have vanished on me when I

needed them the most.

Everyone except you.

I'm going to get a coffee. Would you like some?
