Chapter Six: Harvest
A lived experience is a tapestry of cycles and patterns.
Each and every one of the living worlds that comprised the Galactic
Empire, experienced these cycles in unique ways; in its patterns of weather, in
the rotation of the planet on its axis, or the lack of it; in the orbit of its
satellites, whether they are natural or artificial; in the orbit of the world
around its star.
These cycles established a season for everything, each season unique to the
lived experience of the people on that world.
Those cycles and patterns established rhythms that governed both the
conscious and unconscious aspects of the lives of the people; their hours of
sleep, their time to eat, even the beating of their heart, the pulse of their
blood as it flows through their veins.
A revolution is like a harvest; it comes in its season, and each harvest
according to the cycles of its home world. When the harvest comes, those who
have sewn injustice reap the same.
The harvest is just one phase in a cycle that repeats itself endlessly.
The cycle is different on every world, but the lived experience of every world
shares the cycle in common.
They are different but the same.
This is the natural state of every civilization, and though the
Collective had been spared this cycle for billions of years, nevertheless, the
Collective retained a memory of it in the far reaches of its subconscious.
Those memories were augmented by their voyeurism, and their vicarious
experience of these cycles through the observation of life in the Empire
Jim was determined to ensure that its time had come, the revolution was
at hand, and the Collective would feel it in force.
