Mar 2019... The next project

I'm sure this one will take me some time...

Now that I'm wrapping up "A Bellicose Dance" I am refocusing my attention to my next pet project: an anthology (a collection of selected literary pieces or passages or works of art or music).

Each story a passage.  I like that word. It defines an imagery that is literal, yet ambiguous.

We'll start with the title - the vision if you will, the common tie: The 4 Seasons of Man. Seasons in the context of the span of our civilization: where we've started, where we are going, our ongoing travel down a winding, yet challenging, path only to reach some ultimate destination. How does it at all end - if it does?

Winter: Geologists have the evidence,  and it's clear. Our planet has survived many life-ending events - filter events of our survival if you will. Time and time again we seem to pull through these troubled times, but not without baring the scars. No matter how bad things get, we have our hope, and eventually, the sun does indeed rise and we feel its warmth again.
 
Spring: brings with it new life, new opportunity, and promise of something better.  We are a speck in the universe. There is so much out there, presenting so many possibilities, and we do so much like to explore.

Summer: is the time of reaping the benefits of our accomplishments, when we leave our imprint upon that which we command, if not only what we can influence. With so much knowledge at our disposal, and such unlimited capability, we have to be very careful of the decisions we make.

Fall: As our days grow darker, and our great domain diminishes to a shred of what we once remembered, the last true great filter looms ahead.

And nope, dunno where this will all end up in the end. This is where we are going...
