21st clip. Title: Ascenscion. 05:19 minutes long. Total - 1:58:44 minutes so far.

This clip is posted in gratitude to what I call - science fiction in words and films. A blend of Arthur C. Clarke, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg. Yes, grateful to those artists and their movies and books: Close Encounter of the Third Kind, the 6 Star Wars films, the 2001: A Space Odyssey books/films, and the Rama Novels by Arthur C Clarke. George Lucas was as inspired/influenced as I was by Joesph Campbell, the incomparable comparative mythologist. It is wondruous how ideas from different venues (from religion to the movies) play in all of our lives. Ideas, along with people, mold how we be.
