Incarnate Lines

NELLIE: If you're able, please rise for our Heels d, our Advocate, She Who Plants the Seed, Marigold!

MARIGOLD: May you grow tall and bear fruit. Joyful Harvest! Swing the sickle!

NELLIE: Joyful Harvest, Marigold!

MARIGOLD: Joyful Harvest, Nellie, Lilly and Liz! You have watered our souls with song. What a gift the Lord has given you all, and we thank Him for working through your voices today.

NELLIE: I accept your words with a joyful heart; all that I do is in service to the Oasis.

MARIGOLD: You may be seated. I am happy to see so many of you here to celebrate. Now, please bow your heads in devotion. For our fresh sprouts, you may follow along in your program.

For the seed that has fallen and the promise of spring

ALL: We thank you

MARIGOLD: For summers passing and the harvest home.

ALL: (2) We thank you

MARIGOLD and All: We pledge our hearts to the Oasis the new Eden created by our Father Almighty as a home for the cultivated.

The Earth is in turmoil, the melting of glaciers mass extinction, the squandering of natural resources and the rise of perpetual waste

in preparation for the second flood. The Lord has blessed us with the second coming our Messiah caretaker. Dan,

our caretaker has come to reunite us with the Earth as was our father's intent and heal the rift between man and nature.

Once reconciled, the final Harvest will begin and if we have reached fruition we will ascend to the holy Spirit to grow tall and abundance of heaven and enjoy life everlasting.

ALL: Amen

MARIGOLD: Amen. I feel hydrated by the words of pit caretake’s creed, and I hope you do to. Now, I am thirsty for fellowship. Turn to your left. Turn to your right. In front of you. And now behind you. Please, greet your neighbors! Stare into each other's eyes and connect in fellowship. Say hello to someone from across the aisle. We are all welcome here, at the Oasis.

*after greetings subside”

MARIGOLD: what a community we have! I hope you felt the power of that connection

Did you feel it?

SVEN: Me too, Marigold!

MARIGOLD: Good. Because all of you in this room are loved.

(Pause)

Isn't that great to hear? Not everyone gets to feel that kind of love. That spiritual connection. Like we're all in the same wifi, and some generous person has shared their password with us. And I think we all know who that individual was.

But let's get back to that previous thought. I want to mediate on that for a second. Do you think it's all right for people not feel love? Think about that. There are people that spend their days alone. They go to work, they go home, and at no point do they feel like they truly belongs anywhere. They wear a false smile and push thought the day. But what happens when you put a plant in a corner without access to sunlight?

VIOLET: It gets sad

MARIGOLD: You're right, Violet. The plant isn't getting any sun, isn't getting any water…And the plant gets sad. What happens after that?

VIOLET: the plant stops growing

MARIGOLD: which means?

VIOLET: It dies

MARIGOLD: Yes, violet. Without nourishment and love, the plant dried out. It shriveled up. And it dies. And we aren't that different from our green brethren. think of people who are without a community? It's like being without the Sun. Think of people who haven't received the secret word of the Lord; it's like not being watered. Here at the Oasis, you receive that care. They don't call me if she who plans the seed for nothing! I find that secret self that you that maybe you didn't think you could be. That you that wasn't accepted by others, the you that was created and blessed by the holy Spirit. The true grain of you. And the Oasis that you is always accepted. Unconditionally. We want others to discover the Oasis just as you did. So without further Ado, I'm very excited to share the fruits of our labor with you.

PETER: Glory be to the seed

MARIGOLD: we did the work. You all did the work. This, this video that you all just saw will help so many people find their way home to the Oasis. Join me in the words of our caretaker.

(Add all)

The Lord requires truth and toil to save us from the empty soil like a farmer's day. It is never done. We plant under the rising Sun till the soil bear the fruit. Then when ripe rip from the root it is our caretaker who ensures our truce. He takes us from the frost and soothes the Lord Almighty. The second coming we prepare for the final homecoming

(Pause)

Please welcome Liz as she gives us our first reading of the day.

LIZ: (crying) I'm sorry

MARIGOLD: why are you apologizing, Liz?

LIZ: I'm ruining the day

MARIGOLD: Liz, what you experienced was hard. But remember, you are reliving your trauma to benefit us. Myself-and Caretaker Dan- know that your pain is in service to the Lord. Friends, do you feel like Liz had ruined this momentous day?

VIOLET: Yes, please Liz

MARIGOLD: The Oasis is listening

LIZ: I'm so lucky to be here, in the Oasis, with all of you today. The seed of the Oasis.

CULTIVATED: Glory be to the seed!

MARIGOLD: thank you Liz. We're the lucky ones! Dear spouts, when I first met Liz she was just a shell of herself. Then she and I had some long conversations about who the real was was. Because in our daily lives people trick us into believing things that aren't true about ourselves. Who has had this happen to them? Hm? Let's see a show of hands.

(Pause)

Ugh, it burns my biscuits that you've all had to experience that. People will way you aren't worth anything, when you're a gosh darn gem

VIOLET/PETER: amen

MARIGOLD: people will say that you don't fit in, but you aren’t just a puzzle piece, no, you are your own puzzle to master.

LILLY/SVEN:amen/yes!

MARIGOLD: People will say that you're crazy, but they just don't really know you. The real you. They know the you that they want to see. Not the truth that's living inside you, imbued by the holy spirit

LIZ/CHUCK: thank you, marigold/amen!

MARIGOLD: don't thank me. Thank the Lord for giving us this Eden. Thank caretaker Dan for leading us down the path of righteousness.

CHUCK: thank marigold, for filling us with the Holy Spirit!

MARIGOLD: I'm humbled by your words, but I am in service to the Lord and our caretaker. All that I do is in support of them. I'm merely a vessel. Now, our first communion today is that of the soul. Because without soil, there is nothing to hold our roots. It is our foundation. Or is the earth, which was given to us by the father Almighty. Please rise if you are able for caretaker Dan, who will bestow this sacrament.

(Sings)

Hallelujah, Hallelujah when I die. I'll complete my mission, reach fruition, lod, when I die, when I die.Hallelujah, Hallelujah when I die. I'll complete my mission, reach fruition, lod, when I die, when I die.

CD: those who moved, please come forward to receive the sacrament of the soil.

People get soil

CD/Marigold: The sacred soil of the Oasis, shared with you

CULTIVATED: Glory be to the seed

MARIGOLD: For today's second read-

CD: we thought you were one of the chosen, on the way to fruition

MARIGOLD: Sven, have you rejected your seed?

CD: I accept your pledge. Glory be to the seed

MARIGOLD: Glory be to the seed

CD: For the promise of harvest contained within a seed

MARIGOLD: we thank you

CD: for the pine tree within a pinecone. The bread within a grain

MARIGOLD: the peach withing a pit

CD: The mystery of nature gift wrapped by the father Almighty for us to sow.

MARIGOLD: we give thanks for a joyful harvest

CD: you may be seated

MARIGOLD: our final reading is from the text of the garden number 12. To the crops that have grown talk to the trees that have borne fruit, to the flowers that have burst open. This day is for you. Every nine years we gather on the fourth Saturday of the tenth month at the 13th hour to real what we have down. This shall be the day of reaping. Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Remember: some things must end, for others to begin, as it has been and always shall be.

CD: Glory be to G-D, we follow our ancient customs and welcome our new bud, Rose.

MARIGOLD: this is Rose’s first official meeting. Since joining us at the garden, Ross has had some difficult connections with the Lord and finding her personal grain of truth. Today and and I will till the soil til we find it. For the past 72 hours, rose has been in the closet of solitude, ruminating in Eden and how to achieve it, without interaction from anyone but myself.

ROSE: speaking tounges

MARIGOLD: (overlapping) I have found my place in the garden, the garden of eden, I livs in the green, the green of my ancestors, the green of my truth (improv..)

ROSE: what does it mean?

MARIGOLD: you are intended for the bed of the virtuous. It's a rare honor. Let us prepare for the seeding. Let's celebrate with a song! “In the lasis” is printed in your programs. Peter and chuck will you lead us in vocal jubilance?

End of song “In the Oasis”

MARIGOLD: Joyful Harvest! Let us pray: our father in heaven bless our seedlings as they grow ensure they burst forth thick and green from the moist warm soil and cultivated the mighty earth into a new eden. Amen.

CULTIVATED: amen

MARIGOLD: now it's time to water the seeds but not just with any water. See, the success of our reaping, my friends, depends on us receiving the sacred spring, which is linked to the father Almighty, whom gave us life. This is how we achieve a joyful harvest!

CD: and who shall help us usher in the harvest? You'll all equal in the eyes of the Lord. We will decide.

MARIGOLD: as your herald, I will announce the name of whom our Lord chooses to honor on this momentous day.

PETER: for the harvest is ripe

MARIGOLD: for the life of a creature is in the blood and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves in the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for ones life. Leviticus 17:11

CD: Our seedlings will be baptized in the sacred spring!

MARIGOLD: Swing the sickle

LIZ: our messiah, our savior. He's gone…

MARIGOLD: Dan was a false prophet!

I'm sorry, I felt the will of the Lord moving through my body. I was going to strike Peter, but I was guided to caretaker Dan

Dan wasn't the Messiah. I don't know til now.

He was infertile! The Lord G-D, father Almighty, told me to tell you. He was sterile and could never bring about new eden

ROSE: he was the divine incarnate

MARIGOLD: HE WAS BARREN AS THE DESERT

PETER: she can't do it, she can't. Marigold you are the herald but you killed caretaker Dan. And you slander him

MARIGOLD: we are earned of false prophets! People that claim to be the Lord made flesh.

Our caretaker is supposed to roll the soil til we reach fruition

PETER: which he did. I'm an example of his success

MARIGOLD: BUT HIS HAND WAS NOT DRAWN TO YOUR NAME. HE DOES NOT MOVE WITH THE HAND OF G-D. I DO.

CHUCK: we trusted you, marigold

MARIGOLD: Dan’s seeds were empty husks

ROSE: as do I

MARIGOLD: nothing can grow from from bad seeds He lied. OUR LORD IN HEAVEN MOVED ME TO ACT.

SVEN: Marigold, what proof do you have that Dan is-

MARIGOLD: STERILE? What children do you see here? Dan gives us the expectation of children. But there are none

And if there are they are not by dan. Would the Lord G-d, father Almighty, send us a infertile Messiah to populate new eden?

PETER: you are the stable I'm the garden of eden

MARIGOLD: no I'm the her and and you know it! G-D is watching even now. And if you kill me, he will have a special seat for me in Heaven as I have reached my full fruition

VIOLET: I have never borne child and dan has lain with me many times.

MARIGOLD: see? It's not your fault, it was Dan! You are more than vessels. You carry the future, but Dan could not give it to you

PETER: but the LORD would never send his son to die! He wouldn't give us an infertile Messiah

MARIGOLD: Caretaker dan was not his son! He was a fraud! The Lord G-d punished him for his lies by my hand!

PETER: swing the sickle, the harvest is ripe

MARIGOLD: Peter, this isn't your personal truth

PETER: I have reached my fruition, Marigold. I'm sorry that you won't.

MARIGOLD: do not be deceived: G-D is not locked, for whatever one does, that will he also reap
