Here are a few of the photos.
Had fun with this one. If it lands me in the soup, so be it. Lagertha hasn't complained yet, and might not - being as this Character is the earliest version of one of the most powerful women ever to have lived, called Mamm. Robert Redford as the first ever Danann ... what's not to like about that? Me I like it a lot. And who better for one of the wisest, most individualistic men (a new Character for these books, Dan) in the Universe than Willie Nelson? I ask you. That shoe fits. As for the woman on the right ... we mean absolutely no disrespect when we call her Maggie. She is the Magdalenian Woman and has been dead for ten thousand years or so. If her energy was upset she'd be haunting me by now so I reckon we're okay on that front. Front and center is Z-Bug whose Story Character doesn't have a name just quite yet but I have a sneaking suspicion he will grow into a very tall, very Powerful, very skinny, and very bald-headed man by the name of Ullin.
Here is Mamm, hitching a ride home from one of her best friends (nameless as yet) to Phi, which is the Hive City on the Spiral rising above the Platte River in the background. It's 12,800 years ago so you won't be seeing it if you happen to go to Kearney, Nebraska.
For our purposes this crane represents JOY.
North America, 12,800 years ago, didn't have borders. As a matter of fact there weren't any borders anywhere on Earth.
The folk of Phi knew darned well exactly what was their place in the Galaxy. They'd been exploring and Hiving (settling) out in the stars for generations.
When a huge asteroid shatters unexpectedly, the fallout for Earth is not a good thing. Her northern hemisphere takes some hard hits. To understate.
How much water is in the keeping of glaciers that have only just begun to retreat after an ice age that lasted a hundred thousand years? What happens when a lot of it is suddenly vaporized and a lot more of it becomes immediate ice melt?
Now that I've got the bee of this trailer out of my bonnet maybe I can get back to writing the series of essays (thirty-six of them) about the olden days. Before I write COME HELL AND HIGH WATER it behooves me to at least try to get the elements that have to be included into some semblance of order. Hence the essays. There are already partial scenes popping into them (you know our Characters) which will likely come in handy down the road a piece.
Once I've gotten them done I'll probably go ahead and publish them, if only so I can have a hard copy at hand for quick and easy reference when I need a bit of information and can't remember the convoluted paths of research that I took to find it in the first place.
Michael Blake's musical interpretation of PHI --- the Golden Ratio, the Spiral, the Genesis of everything from the smallest we can get to all the way through the symmetry of our Universes, 1.618... --- is one of several I found on line and my personal favorite. He kindly granted permission for its use and then I had a heck of a time figuring out how to get it into the background of this trailer. It deserves more skill than I've been able to generate - but all I can do is the best I can do with what I have to work with at any given time. I don't have the skills to do it justice. Thank God he and his musician friends are much better at what they do than I am at what I do.
At any rate, after all this time writing about the SONG and its Voices it suddenly dawned on me that there are eight Voices: Choice, the Spiral, Peace, Faith, Healing, Hope, Love, and Unity. There are also eight notes in a do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do scale. DUH. Yeah, sometimes I'm a little slow on the uptake. The SONG has a melody. It's called PHI, the Song of every single solitary bit of energy in our vast world. AKA God, the Holy Trinity. We can't create nor can we destroy PHI any more than we can energy. Fact. Look it up. Balance will be maintained whether or no we have a clue about what anything is actually all about.
When I started searching through a gazillion things about Science, I have no doubt that there were one or two people out there who wondered if I'd lost my mind, or my Faith.
The answer is a resounding 'NO!'
Exploring, as best I can, everything from entanglement to the far reaches of space, and a thousand things in between, only serves to deepen that Faith. Humankind did not create God. It's the other way around, and the Creator didn't just come into being when humankind did you know.
The world in which we live in, Planet Earth, is older than our minds can fathom. Yet she is but a youngling compared to other places out there. The lives we lead are like microcosms of a far more immense world ... fractals, if you've a scientific mind.
Everything is.
The energy that flows through us and around us is the exact same energy that's been around since Creation.
Think about that for a minute.
Wrap your head around it.
Now look around you and see what you can see.
Feel what you cannot see.
That's God, all of it.
