hmmm... how much is science fiction? how much our reality? you report disturbing things in this poem, daniel, things i connect to today's world. e.g., where is the truth among the swirling dust of facts and stats and fake news, etc., and why can't so many discern it? i read this this morning in the letter of james chapter 2 which reminds me we and circumstances have not changed much: Isn't it clear that God operates quite differently? He chose the world's down-and-out as the kingdom's first citizens... Isn't it the high and mighty who exploit you, who use the courts to rob you blind? i make a point of not being devoted to the news, not dwelling on the negative. the challenge for me is trusting that God knows, and God sees, and that in the end all will be well as was communicated to julian of norwich. seeds. i read a book with the title, the triumph of seeds. i expect you know that some seeds can last indefinitely or almost so, waiting for the right conditions. and i love how the kjv says of abraham, he hoped against hope. and i'm thinking, who can reach inside and take this from us? it's bound up with our invisible spirits. can't be seen. can't be grasped. but it's realer than real. for hope (one of the basic food groups) , glen

So that was fun in a creative and disastrous sort of way. Again, on this one, I could break down line by line and talk about how this relates to present day and how our actions are slowly leading us down this science fiction path, but I really enjoyed the pure creativity and energy of this piece. Wonderful Daniel! :)

PURE CREATIVITY AND ENERGY OF THIS PIECE that's it exactly. It's inspired by BLADE RUNNER 2049, a dark and unrelenting film, but I don't want to convey the film's aura. Rather the sense of liberation that comes with a visionary experience.

Great! It's my favorite vision! I don't now why. All is smooth: meeting and Especially when you get mixed up with revolution, lose your mind, and streets, and dust, swirls of dust. Great!

Liza, I'm glad you like it. It was inspired by seeing a new Science Film film yesterday, namely, BLADE RUNNER 2049. It's a brilliant sequel to the original BLADE RUNNER from 1983. Harrison Ford starred in the first film, he has a big role in this one. He's 73!
