Beloved, multi-racial character groups.
Groundbreaking female leads.
Diversity not only acknowledged; celebrated.
The warrior within, and without.
Myth revealed, mystery explored.
And the galactic canvas.
Of darkness, and of determination.
Of tribulation, and of triumph.
Of good, and of evil.
Of the great and good fight against evil, in all its dimensions - both known and unknown (yet).
Of hope, and of wonder.
To realize, to aspire, to move.
More science than science fiction...
More personal than pretend...
More moving than make-believe.
A journey for all people, all humanity.
Of mysteries of the past and the issues of today.
Of days to come; in the land of tomorrow.
The war for the soul of Humanity, and the existence of Humankind.
Love wins, but you have to fight for it.
For time that is, and time yet to be.
— R. D. Townsend
Voyager soul on the sea'of life,
O'er waves of sorrow and sin and strife,
When fogs bewilder and foes betray,
Steer straight on your course from day to day;
Though unseen currents run deep and swift
Where rocks are hidden and sandbars shift,
All helpless and aimless, you need not drift.
0, set your sail to the heavenly gale,
And then, no matter what winds prevail,
No reef shall wreck you, no calm delay;
No mist shall hinder, no storm shall stay;
Though far you wander and long you roam
Through salt sea-spray and o'er white sea-foam,
No wind that can blow but shall speed you home.
From “The Set of the Sail” by Annie Johnson Flint The Sailors Magazine, Vol. 84, No. 3 March, 1912
