TV TIME: 3 Body Problem (Netflix)

This American Science Fiction series on Netflix is the adaptation of a Chinese book by Cixin Lou. It was hard for me to get into this series. I started it three different times. That first episode was hard to get through. 

However, I'm glad I stuck with it because it was a complex, moving, and destined to be a sci-fi classic.

I was delighted to see wonderfully talented Rosalind Chou who played Keiko, Engineer Miles O’Brien’s wife in Star Trek, The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. Still a gifted actress.

If you could sit down and have a conversation with ONE person, living or dead, real or fictional, who would it be and why? 

My mother. She never knew that 3 of her great granddaughters were born with her beautiful red hair or that her daughter pursued her (my mother’s) dream of being a published author.

Write. Read. Write. Read - start a newsletter before your first book is published. Never stop promoting your newsletter. Consume any and all writing courses you can find.

Totality

Poem about the solar eclipse

I didn't expect to cry

I knew it would get dark

And I knew the animals would react

That’s what all the newscasters kept saying

But they didn’t say how it would feel

No, they didn’t say how it would feel

That was the day when time stood still

As the shy black moon slowly but surely

Covered the brilliant, colossal, intimidating sun

Oh, the strange silvery glow and slanting shadows

Sending shivers up my spine

And then, like a snuffed candle

The inky, incredible, ethereal hush of darkness

The landscape stretched before me

In fantastical, otherworldly hues

And right there, up above, somehow so close

Was that mighty life-giving star

Suddenly an intimate friend

Viewed through flimsy cardboard glasses

Or curious camera lenses, probing, snapping

The regal, royal, roaring sun

With all of its staggering secrets exposed

Its dazzling corona and red plasma flares

Slung outward from that thin, white

hypnotic disc

Time and breath suspended

And then the blinding flash of the diamond ring

A miracle too astonishing for words

In the distance people cheered

A dog barked and birds twittered

And somehow, some way, we were one

All of us, for just a little bit, united

Our differences forgotten, our malice lifted

All faces tilting upward, watching, wondering

Wide smiles, salty tears

The miracle of being human together

On this ancient and wise yet fragile earth

With its life-giving sun and mutable moon

Remember how it felt that day, never forget it

This life, it is sacred, how can you doubt it?

We are all connected

How can you not know it?

I wasn’t expecting to cry
