Oh, let's DO believe in impossible things!  

On our bookshelf here at home sits a growing collection of science fiction.  Some as old as 1950, others as recent as 2022.  When you read a span 70+ years of futuristic imaginings, it is easy to see how many of these "impossibilities" are now quite real.

As artists, writers and creators, we are charged with the mission of imagining the impossible, the improbable, the unlikely and the peculiar.   Whether it is Alice in her best insectoid tea-serving form or the unsettling emotions of being human captured and rendered into a treasure of experience and deep beauty, or the landscape of a hidden mountain pass covered in mist and made magical for those who may never get to place two feet in that place - we carve a path in the human continuum that makes space for the unlikely to blossom into existence.  Whoa.

Here's a link to a 1960's BBC version of Alice In Wonderland.  Mary Jean St Clair, the granddaughter of Alice Liddell, had a lot of concerns about this rendition.  As a descendant of the girl who inspired Lewis Carroll's story. she worried that  "the film would make her grandmother ‘appear into some sort of strange person’ when ‘[s]he was not’.   The BBC version was not intended for children, and doesn't even use costumes!  I admit to not having watched it in its entirety.  But I am fascinate by this very peculiar version of Alice.
