About this Series:
In Yesterday’s Visionaries in Today’s World, Stephen J. Bergstrom gives creative voice to visionary souls in process of awakening.
Through imaginative device, Yesterday’s Visionaries in Today’s World reveals two contrasting visions that shape contemporary existence.
In one, conquerors traverse the world as a series of endless privileges secured through material means and patriarchal oppression.
In the other, conquered and oppressed individuals and groups perceive that consciousness animates nature, humanity and the spirit of a Living Earth.

Acknowledging Olympias
From whence I came? How to explain my life?
Daughter of King Neoptolemus, fourth wife to Philip II of Macedonia, mother of Alexander the Great, a devotee of Dionysus, I slept with snakes.
In what Plutarch imagined as Alexander, I saw a thunderbolt fall upon my womb that kindled a great fire that dispersed across many lands.
The snakes spoke to me and told me about a greater fire, a coming fire;
In the distance
In the loam
Comes the resistance
And of a future time;
Of monstrous peril
Dark nights
And love made sterile
~ Stephen J. Bergstrom
