and heard the self fade off
in sinews of the soul.
The universe dissolved in God.
As go, too, time and space.
Why do we snarl forever
over the retorts?”– Frank Borden Hanes

My mother in Richmond VA chats with her grand daughters in Japan. Good magic.
Drove my mom to hear music from the core strings of the Richmond Symphony, we sat close up. She was transcendentally happy.

Photographic film is a sheet of plastic (polyester, PET, nitrocellulose or cellulose acetate) coated with an emulsion containing light-sensitive silver halide salts (bonded by gelatin) with variable crystal sizes that determine the sensitivity, contrast and resolution of the film. When the emulsion is sufficiently exposed to light (or other forms of electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays), it forms a latent (invisible) image. Chemical processes can then be applied to the film to create a visible image, in a process called film developing.–Wikipedia
