Domebook … Domebook 2 … books that inspired imagination; inspire yet. Bucky, god-like, opened imagination, informed holistic thinking, and, for me, the feeling of holy.
But curiosity. A comfort for few, and terror for too many. The dynamics of abrupt climate change: curious to few, and terror to too many. Or weaponry to weaponry perpetually effected … and livenry lost.
Thanks for this post. And a view of a world mostly lost: where humanity looks into its place in the wholeness; longs for love.
