I recall a time when I used to view the future clearly Planned out every minute detail purposefully To ensure my life was lived successfully I laid every brick intentionally Nothing could have prepared me, When the boulder rolled down the hill suddenly And when I turned around, the space it once held was empty I broke out into a sprint attempting to halt the inevitability Fixated on the chase, I could not see A cavernous...
I watch you from the distance slicing the air with your sword with grace and wielding it with incredible agility my heart pounds at your presence but can you feel me droplets of water from the mist run down my face as I continue my intense surveillance needing your arms around me knowing it isnt possible and time slips into a new dimension where things are better than they are and you look at me my heart stops and my...

They are the attempts at governing particularly the Medical Insurance Act of 2046 and the Social Reorganization of 2082, robotics/transhumanism, genetic editing/designer DNA, AI and instanet’s impact on “drive through” health care, and pharma...
Robotics TODAY Robotics performs much of the daily maintenance of most things. They are programmed into most life functions such as home repair and cleaning, transportation, personal items, food acquisition and preparation, etc. One can choose to do those things or allow the programming to complete them. Some have chosen industrial looking robotics to complete specialized tasks usually requiring more robotics while oth...
Education TODAY Most individuals and families enjoy a self directed education. As far as academic requirements, the purpose of our 18th and 19th century education is nearly defunct. Education programs are more designed to learn how to survive in the 22nd century with significant emphasis on socialization and appropriate means of personal interactions. The need to prepare youth for the working world is no longer needed....
Global Warming TODAY The topic of global warming is still regular news, but the focus has changed somewhat. The LB, Lens Bank, has produced the effect of reducing warming, but the two issues surrounding its creation come up every few years. When a permanent member or two of the UN Security Council attempt to flex their muscle the LB sometimes comes up in the conversation. But more often it is the weather patterns and work...
Chapter One Finally arriving at my STOP (Short Term Overnight Place) I open my link to our weekly group cast. I joined late today, so had to join the conversation in mid stream. Steve: With both Bill and Sarah going to spend several weeks in Biloxi, Mississippi in September, I would like to stop there for a get together. Is anyone else willing to make a trip there? B^GJo#: I would like to go and September is a great time...
This is the beginnings of a multiple chapter story of what life could become in 2101. Brian tells the story as he looks back on life from 2101. Chapters are usually written to cover some aspect of life providing some details of what happened historically and what it means for today (the year 2101). The chapters will be presented in random order as I have written them or writing them. The stories are not meant to be...
There is no doubt that poetry has a unique ability to move the human spirit; an ability shared only with music and far more so than even the greatest prose, however impassioned. It is, therefore, no surprise that the greatest composers have felt impelled to set poetry to music; and whilst the lyrics of much popular music are repetitive and banal, the works that will survive are those where the words tell a story or expres...
u·to·pi·ayooˈtōpēə/NounAn imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect Lines. Entry 1) I should not be writing, or feeling. They tell me that numbness is normal. They imagined the signs, they envisioned the nightmares, and they feared the potential credibility that lay within the pages. More important than their future, they feared their imagination. What beasts, what society, what ideas could they...
That sanctuary is still there.In the valley where the live oaks growScattered across the landscape of hope.Turn down the lane to where the wonderful one is waving,Beckoning as you come down the hill.Down the hill to your singular home once more.You've been here before.Been here and welcomed,Always welcome.Embraced in the open arms of acceptance,And never any regrets.Only the landscape of hope.Always the honor of being lov...
The cave lit up at first sight of the sun. Sommer had already been outside the cave and back So when Eduardo woke up to find Sommer now fully clothed, he was surprised. “Where did the clothes come from?” “You forget. This is a war-ridden time. Dead bodies aren’t that hard to find. I got the clothes from the first one I found.” Eduardo made the symbol of the Cross out of respect for the dead, then kissed his small golden r...
The first time I looked into your piercing eyes,you caught me by complete surprise;It wasn't long from that time, that my beating heart was no longer mine;Each time I gaze upon your handsome face,I know I've been blessed by God's precious grace;I love you more than you'll ever know, and throughout our lives, our love will grow;You are my friend, my love, my destiny, my present, my future, my eternity.
I used to have these two repeating dreams as a young girl . Dream 1 The dream would start at my grandma's home. I would be outside on the third top deck and there was a huge enormous dark helicopter arriving in the sky from afar . It was huge and dark. As it would come nearer it would get louder and louder. I understood that the helicopter was after me. I saw that the helicopter had tinted windows, so I couldn't see who w...
“Aw Mom,” whines Jeremy. “Do I have to take history? I hate history.” “Yes, you must take it this term.” “But history always leaves...” Jeremy thinks, “a bad taste in my mouth.” “I know dear, but we all have to do some things that are unpleasant at times,” she explains. “Besides, it's required if you wish to graduate.” Reluctantly, Jeremy takes the educational capsule and swallows it down with some water. “Yuck!” he grima...
