Wild Fire

Offret - Sacrificatio
directed by Andrei Tarkovesky (who directed the original Solaris)

Alexander, a journalist and former actor and philosopher, tells his little son how worried he is about the lack of spirituality of modern mankind. In the night of his birthday, the third world war breaks out. In his despair Alexander turns himself in a prayer to God, offering him everything to have the war not happened at all.

The change in winds being covered this morning in the LA wild fires reminded me of this movie I saw years ago. The universe does indeed make bargains.

What do we have to bargain, partner? Think fast because the fires on the Burbank hills tonight can be spotted, and smelled too, from our Future. It is not the first of October yet but the ritual October sacrificatio of the L.A. canyons and forest has officially begun. I wonder who's officiating this fire festival every year.
