| Message | Yes. I would agree with those who say, THE FOUNTAIN is a masterpiece. - a powerful vision and visionary experience. Here is a little poem I wrote a few years ago on the same themes. ... hope you enjoy it . . . it's titled,
the world is vast... and death (often) too soon . . . [Sometimes: entirely too soon] But if you live well past 40 or 50 or 60... There is enough to see and do (in most lives) not to leave deprived or slung low in memory. Thankfully, I have not been denied or deprived in much of life, and yet... So many books I want yet to read, thoughts to think, people to meet, place to go, ... spaces to grow to know, to know ... to learn the more and laugh. Earthly mortality, standing stern as a great wall, forbids it. but the spirit sees a light and hope Vast as the world and beyond it. The mirror is dim, the perfect image often tarnished, veiled, and seen only afar; are we fools imagining? or immortals clothed in frail flesh of mortality? The mind and spirit reaches for the vastness of unending wisdom ... of being and doing: to know and be known, to Love and be loved. i am the bubble soon returning to the Infinite Sea . . .
