When I Recover 

By: Bedor Alobaidi 


When I recover, I may desire to soar. 


When I recover, I may yearn for an extended slumber. 


When I recover, I may seek to hear the echoes of my name within your heart. 


When I recover, I may want to fly. And when I do, the exhilaration of soaring will illuminate me. 


When I recover, I will dance again, with the stars as my spotlight and the moon as my beloved partner. 


When I recover, I will no longer contain my tears, but share them with whoever crosses my path. Perhaps someone else is struggling to cry and needs a helping hand, or someone wishes to join and share their sorrow, to alleviate their pain and rediscover themselves by giving it a good cry. 


When I recover, I will dedicate all my time to never looking back at those who caused my losses. 


When I recover, I will once again grasp the true meaning of life. For now, all I can do is smile when I see you, because your smile and soothing voice restore my hope. 


Your smile acts as medicine, calming my nervous system in a way I haven't felt in ages. 


When I recover, I will rediscover myself. I know the indescribable feeling of finding myself again, especially for those who have known me intimately and on a deeper level, or at least I hope they have! 


When I recover, I will sing love songs dedicated to all those who struggle to heal easily, but can do so through love. 


When I recover, I will make a point not to dwell on old photographs that bring sadness or tears. If the memories are harmful to revisit, the tears shed while looking at photos of a loved one who is no longer with me should no longer cause me pain, but rather serve as a source of strength and determination to continue living in their memory. I will create new memories along the way, while still cherishing and remembering them, knowing that somehow they see and hear me from heaven. I will feel their presence all around me, and they can sense my warmth through the essence of my soul. 


When I recover, I know for certain that my way of speaking will change from when I was in pain. 


When I recover, I will acknowledge and express gratitude to everyone who has aided me in my healing journey ❤️‍🩹, including the person who inspired me to write this. I will be grateful because without them, my healing would not have progressed as far as it has. 


And once I recover, I will never cease writing.

So, help me recover to write my story all over again from the beginning. 

Because, it will feel different when you share a story of your own struggles and wins written by a healed version of yourself.

So, I decided to share with all my followers and readers here on my blog some of the interesting plays I have enjoyed reading and reflecting about through the fall semester of 2013. I will be sharing some of my writings that I basically have done for my  Theater  classes, in which I enjoyed taking the most since the first days I started going to college. And with all  pleasure, here's one of my most favorite plays that I pretty much enjoyed reading about through this semester. So, I hope you guys enjoy reading it or even get an idea of the play's theme, climax and plot and also if you find it really interesting you might consider searching for the play itself and start reading it and by then you will see realize why I consider it as one of the most favorite plays I have ever enjoyed reading , back when I had to study it in my theater literature class .  Happy reading :)  The Rising of The Moon By Lady Gregory: It is one of Lady Gregory’s shortest bu

The Deadly Theatre

After reading and highlighting the important key  elements  of the “Empty Space” as how it’s referd on the book that was written by the author Peter Brook, I was bale to draw out an idea of what’s the definition of an empty space and  calling  it a bare stage as how it was mentioned in the text.  Then he  splinted  the word into four ways and distinguished what are the four different kinds of theatre. These types of theatre are: Deadly Theatre, a Holy Theatre, a Rough Theatre, and the fourth one was the an Immediate Theatre. In this chapter Peter Brook was to deliver a powerful indictment of deadly  theater  for us. In better words, he was able to identify and explain with such a  detailed  relevant sequence what is deadly theatre in terms of performances that are dull and boring, providing no transcendental experience or immediate encounter with truth and beauty. In his book, Brook has focused on several reasons why deadly  theater  happens and why it persists; and while I

The Rough Theatre

“The Rough theatre is something more experimental”. This means that we already have moved into a different type of theatre that Peter Brook has guided us into it from his book “The Empty Space”. In better words, this is a simpler form of theatre than the ones we studied before such as the deadly thatre and the holly theatre, what makes the rough theatre different than the obvious theatres is that “through the ages it has taken many forms, and there is only one factor that they all have in commonness--- a roughness”.   I would rather call it a vivid, noisy, lively, flexible, and very creative theatre.  You can touch and feel the real meaning of owning the space “The Stage” and being all comfortable with any new, quick changes in terms of plays, directors, and the actors themselves are more free with their expreissions but noticebly they are not limited as how we examined in the first two chapters.  In this type of theatres, you can easily see it’s not a complicated space
