AGE OF ALWAYS

Stevie Nicks once asked in song, "Can we handle the seasons of our life?" It's in the return to nature when the living begin to turn their eyes away from their beginnings and instead focus on their eventual ends. Have you done enough? Have you loved enough? Did you possess passion? What is your legacy? Who will remember you, and should you be remembered?

As that last question echoes in our consciousness, we see a pair of pale blue eyes. We pull back slightly and we see a reflected surface. On it, the warped fish-eyed image of the Keystones (Heather, Ricky, JD, Scarlet, and their companions, Lion and Van Halen) reflects back, the product of Randall Flagg's mirrored sun glasses.

Van Halen says, "So what is it?"

​

Flagg says, "What's what?"

​

Van Halen says, "Your favorite song?"

​

Flagg smiles...
