I remember day dreaming when I was just starting out in my career, how as a young soldier I jockeyed for promotion as an officer of Imperial Rome. I envisioned myself riding to victory after victory with Caesar’s conquering legions. I pondered how my men and I would fight for justice everywhere and bring enlightenment and prosperity to the uncivilized subjects of our realm. Even this assignment to a remote outpost in Jerusalem I hoped to turn into an opportunity for service to others and recognition for myself. But today, I don’t know. Something’s going on that just doesn’t feel right. I can’t talk to my commander; I certainly can’t approach Pontius Pilate.

(BECKY FROM OFF-STAGE) From the beginning of time my creation was intended for the purpose of relationship. From wood ticks to woodchucks, from swordfish to swordtails, from pineapples to pine trees, from nursing babies to nursing homes I seek the interdependence of all and the desire of all to freely unite with me. Yet in their freedom to pursue their own desires, the very creatures with greatest potential for intimacy are the creatures that so frequently divide with enmity!
