Saturday Poetry Corner 47: Nothing Twice

 

Today, a poem by a Polish lady poet - Wisława Szymborska, a Nobel Laureate. It was featured in Korean translation in one of the SF8 stories, so I decided to bring it for a wider audience.

Mountain trip 2020

 

Now, I promised to some people I would post the pictures. Some of them found their way to twitter. Some are the same object but with different lenses. I am not a great photographer, hell, I can't take pictures, but maybe someone will feel better with all the blue and green.

[First Impression] Missing: The Other Side

 

 

From the first episode there was an eerie feeling about this series, and after 4 episodes this feeling has not subsided. And if it continues the same quality as since now, this might be the best from OCN up to date in 2020.

This episode dealt with and A.I. and its integration with a human brain. But in fact, it dealt with loneliness.

Drama Stage 2020: Out of Communication Range

 

And with this episode, the Drama Stage 2020 comes to an end. It took me a while to watch all 10 standalone episodes and write short description. Maybe someone would be interested enough to check it. But I don't have such illusions.

Drama Stage 2020: I Object

 

After the considerably heavy previous episode, this one brought back hope and a bit of a subtle humor - mostly relying on a wonderful acting. Because the topic of this little story is not that light at all.

Into The Wild Colombia: Warriors of the Llanos 4/5 (2018)

In this episode we follow a herd of capybaras as they brave the scorching season of drought, ans also a tiny family of burrowing owls as they race time to bring up their offspring before the coming rainy season. Then we learn about the jacana birds - here the females are territorial and they leave males right after laying the eggs, so it's the guys job to raise the chicks.
