100 DAYS PROJECT: #27
Flower Power
Steve’s story this morning was one of contemplation of the priorities of life, the value of material things and the weight of beliefs. It was a parable, a moral or message within the lure and entertainment of story that provokes deeper reflection.
What struck me was the image of the 70s and the hope of a new world of love and peace (and pot to help it along!) and how that message has been interpreted through the decades since.
The arrangement of the lexias, the narrative structure–which is mostly a series of unrelated incidents–seemed to cry for a circle, a cycle, and I was tempted to grant it no end. I may still play with the links; there was another direction to take.
