WOW!! Very creative and intuitive. I felt the certainty with which this story was written and yet could hear that slight rattle of uncertainty revealed int he the statement: "your fathers would call me crazy........" Beautifully written and should be a contest contender if not winner. good luck. ann

I wasn't sure of your story. At first, I thought it was metaphorical, a glance from God looking over his civilization. After another read, I believe it was from the beyond that sees and protects those the left behind.

How unique. I used to imagine my yet unborn children. When they arrived I did nothing to mold them into the persons I imagined them to be, surprisingly, they do to a certain degree match up to who I thought they would be. Imagine that.

    I suspect that some of it is due to inherited genetic traits.

Your writing is a little obscure at times with not enough elaboration to fully understand what you mean, for instance in the opening paragraph you write of repentance, apprehension, and boundaries. But all in all I am impressed with the imaginative way you have written this piece, with its crisp imagery. But why is the kaleidoscope in black and white?

Hi,
I loved this short story. You captured a wonderful feeling within your notes to your 'yet born' grandchildren.

You wrote this with a sense of sincerity and wisdom that made for a good read.

I can't fault anything I've read. No, I would not change a thing, and I do love the last stanza... a truly capturing ending.

Well done and all the very best in this contest... I wish you nothing but the best.

With our thoughts we create...
a knowing of our evolution.

Kind regards,
James.

A good read, both pleasant and poignant. This reminds me of a recent conversation in an online Buddhist group that I'm part of. The topic was unconditional acceptance, so I've had that on my mind. What could be more unconditional that loving someone who has yet to be born? They're loved however they end up being and can't become a way that would stop you from loving them. A great message. Thank you for sharing!
