From ‘Emergence’ Magazine….
by Ben Okri
In this short story, Booker Prize–winning Nigerian author and poet Ben Okri envisions the tragedy and peace of a post-human world. Twenty thousand years into the future, an exploration of Earth uncovers the final notes and unfinished stories left by the last human beings in the twilight of their civilization. Reflecting on humanity’s genius for extraction and domination, this uncanny tale, narrated by acclaimed British actor Colin Salmon, follows our trajectory into extinction and invites the question: When will we truly comprehend the future we have seeded?

Here are some I made earlier….. Saturday before last, the annual Lucy Service was held in St. Magnus’ Cathedral. Tiredness means that I’m mostly in bed by 9 o’clock, so we don’t go out the evening these days – BUT – I thought I’d pull together some past pieces about the Lucy Service – especially as this was the 25th Anniversary….
