A Thousand Waves Away (2025)

Cast for short film
the people are in turmoil
the ground from which their enchanted garden grows, is trembling
between bushes and trees
flowerbeds and fountains
everyone
has lost their way on their own
their eyes search for paths
their hands try to remember
sometimes they spot something
sometimes they listen
they catch a whisper
a faint promise
they follow the petals downstream
further
(Theresa George)
