Notes on the Work
ADDED AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR BY THE NAC
When the universe trembles on the edge of reboot and time folds into zero, a message in a bottle is launched from Earth—drifting through thirty‑three layers of cosmic frequency toward a future that may or may not remember us.
Inside the bottle rests a softly glowing blue lotus, a flicker of a beating heart, and a letter written in blurred ink:
“Dear Future,
If you still remember love,
please deliver this to someone who can understand.”
After wandering across star fields for ages, the bottle arrives at the Starlight Post Office, the last paper-and-emotion building on the rim of the galaxy. An elderly caretaker—the final reader of Earth’s ancient language—opens it. In the lotus’s glow, he glimpses a forgotten world where children planted flowers in the rain and told stories among ruins, still believing in each other beneath the fading sun of civilization.
He reseals the bottle and sends it onward with a mechanical bird. Its wings carry this fragile memory toward Blue Star, a young planet where echoes of Earth and frequencies of dreams converge.
If you are reading this now,
it means the bottle has found you.
And when you whisper,
“Can we really send letters to the future?”
The universe answers through you:
“Yes. Because we are the reply.”
Fasten the strings of your heart.
Carry this light forward.
Your arrival illuminates the cosmos once more.
