Galactic galleryThe galaxy is also a gallery
All the images you already know (plus those you didn't) already exist out there.
Somewhere in the galaxy. If you only knew where to look... Minor order in major chaos
Our galaxy offers at least 100.000.000.000 stars, and that is a quite large pile of points. The point of view
One sum is the total number of stars.
Another is the sum of images if we added all possible views:
looking from all points of view, in all directions. A third factor could be zooming in and out.
This creates a potential gallery of trillions of possible views / images. Mona Lisa is out there...
To find a specific view or image we 'only' need to sort the galaxy,
which is not easily done but nevertheless perfectly possible.
So if you know how Mona Lisa looks like, you can find her again, out there somewhere.
If you only knew where... This isn't monkey business
I know this may remind you of the old joke:
a group of monkeys typing random characters will eventually write everything Shakespeare ever wrote.
But in this case we don't have to wait for the monkeys; they have already done their job (and got their bananas)... New kind of star images
The pictures, I'm suggesting, are not the traditional kind. The old images only offer a dozen stars, or less. Thus our imagination has to add the remaining 99%. This new kind of images may offer thousands of stars, like a sparkling photo... |
TextsEon - Worlds largest number
Some entities are small, but numerous. Some are incredibly high, but only rarely used. But both ends are necessary, and we need the full spectrum. Is it possible to touch the sky, while keeping your feet firmly grounded? At least one may attempt it,
so here's my suggestion... All immortals will be |
FictionA Woman Turned into an Oak
One day Sylvia discovered that a small leaf had sprouted from her left elbow. Next day she found another on her right arm, she suspected a change. Rest of the week she increasingly found herself in the garden, branching out in silence, panorama!
Doing nothing at all, standing still, admiring the suns speeding arc, yet strangely yearning for rain to fall; I'm leaving, she thought. Sylvias friends asked, did she find all this difficult, she answered: No, not at all.
As easy as one, two, tree... The urban fugue
He turned in his dream, his sleep was disturbed and something moving around up his sleeve. He couldn´t recall it all, reminded by the half. He was listening to a friend of his, a philosophical blacksmith, and in the dream such a title seemed quite natural.

DreamsHere and there
Normally sleep is disturbed by dreams only, but one night I was surprised by something more solid. I was shifting position, half asleep, when I suddenly realized that Making order - making sense
I am sitting in a room, watching TV. At least I'm trying to watch, but the screen displays only noise, chaotic dots. It's impossible to see the film I wanted. Impossible to see any thing at all.
Then I suddenly realize... The parallel world
Time is change. But all things do not change equally fast. An example: fashion is a perennial production, architecture last centuries. Every thing evolves at its own internal speed. Thus time moves on in a myriad of separate but interwoven roads.
Sleeping one night in the 90'es, I had a parallel dream... Fantastic voyage
A long and winded voyage from the late 90'ties.
Fantastic because the dream incorporates all main fantastic genres:
a fantasy intro shifting to horror, continues as sf, ends in anti-surrealism.
