Dickey April 24, 2025 I missed the previous episode, and will have to go back to it. But this one and the others—I have enjoyed them tremendously. There’s a lot to take in, and I think they merit watching more than once. I can’t comment on the poetry of “Messiah,” since I have only read through the first two parts; but your description of the Ghost Dance movement is fascinating in its syncretic aspects. Splendid stuff. Reply Roy Eugene Peterson April 24, 2025 So much to love and enjoy. Such great creativity and so many beautiful, skillfully wrought, descriptions and sentiments!
