Come to Zion

Zion among the stars: a living habitat wheels slowly above a young blue world, its meadows, villages, and reflecting seas curving overhead toward a rising sun. Far below, a temple gleams on a terraced hillside; higher up, a lone observer surveys the vast interior from a platform of polished steel.

In the luminous tradition of mid-century space-age optimism, this piece reimagines the gathering of the Saints⁠—faith and engineering made one, the celestial city spun from orbit, world without end.
