And then I feel as if I'm witnessing a miracle, as ever so slowly she raises her face towards the moon. I watch her drink in the sight, sensing the flood of memories she's unleashed and wanting nothing more than to let her know I'm here. But instead I stay where I am and stare up at the moon as well.

These indie filmmakers were making their own stuff their own way, all the time. Instant education.

Yet what is a million, or a million million, of solar revolutions to an Eternity?
