    Ahhh, such a journey! Thank you so much for getting me to actually finish this story 🙂 and then for making the third movie so promptly after I took months to do my part.

    It has been so amazing to see my words and pictures form, and then become these lovely movies… as you always say, it feels like Klara’s story came through me, more than like it’s something I made. Or both, really. But what a journey!

      It was my pleasure, doesn’t really say it, Dale..it was my honor, my obsession, because I just loved what you had done in creating Klara and her journey. Ahh yes, real inspiration feels, just like you describe Dale, like Kahil Gibran says about our children…they come through us, but are not from us. I thank you for handing me this beautiful bunch of illustrated PDF slides and trusting me to tell your story in a YouTube Storybook form. As always such an easy delight to work with you. Although Klara is starting a new stage unknown to us, I feel this last Episode is both hopeful and a perfect ending. Thank you for bringing life to this wonderful character. It’s been just amazing working with you on this one!

    Dale Innis’ trilogy Klara (1, 2 and 3) is enchanting, mysterious and brilliant because of the images and the text, with Karima Hoisan’s enchanting voice adding to it. It is full of universal religious references such as “the wide path” and “the gift”. One of my favorite verses is “The gift passed from one to another / It was different for everyone / But it was always the same”. The playful and contemplative way in which Klara moves between past and future, carried by Karima’s voice. A million paths that she can take, making a million options (worlds) present themselves. A wonderful adventure to experience. Thank you Dale and Karima.

      Such a beautiful comment, Jan, and such a pleasure to see you on my blog. I love your analysis, your eye for details and that line you like best..is also one that I do too:) The use of AI Art is an art in itself,and Dale, after almost a year, has become a “Master Prompter” as they say, and yet, nothing looks exactly as you might wish it to, but that is also what lends a very surreal touch to these productions. Klara herself is also changing in each image, but on faith, we know it is still our protagonist… in every slide, in every episode. Thank you so much again Jan, for taking the time to watch and leave us this comment, both here and on YouTube. I am just thrilled you found our Klara, pleasing, thought provoking, and entertaining. 🙏

      Thank you for the lovely comment, and I’m so glad you liked the story! I am seeing more things in it myself after reading your words. 🙂 As I did after hearing Karima’s brilliant reading. Sometimes the author is the last to know, indeed!

    Somehow, I like this one more than the previous two – I wonder if it’s because I’ve gotten into the storyline 🙂

    I like the ending and the cat turning into her mother… and that she would be a firefly ❤

    Wow I just love this, dear Karima!!! I’ll be going back and watching the other two when I get a chance to catch the full story but this specific part is so beautifully done. It was so delightful to watch and listen to, truly. I love “the gift” and the lessons taught within that storyline. And all the graphics are insanely awesome! This was a fun way to start my morning, grateful for you two creative geniuses 🤍🤗

      Good morning Beauty, and so glad you began your day with our Klara. Dale is a genius with AI Art and his fabulous story-line. I put a lot of love into this project. I just adored it, the first time I saw his pdf version..I knew, we had to get it to “the big screen” haha and we have!… and have gotten such a warm and inspiring reception. Yes, please do, watch the other two when you have time. There is such a wonderful surreal feeling about Klara and her journey, but it seems that all agree, she finished it…in a good place. Big hugs and thank you so much for commenting, Grace!! Loved this comment❤️🌟❤️

    Wonderful 3rd part of a fantastic journey you took us on, Dale and Karima! I really like that Klara would be a firefly, and I loved the ending ❤
    You should put it in print 🙂

      Aww thanks so much Joey and so pleased you enjoyed the 3rd part too:) Yes..I told Dale I welled up in tears at the ending, maybe because she was reunited with her lost mother. A printed book would be so lovely, but as you know hard to find a way to publish 42 full color slides…but I agree it would be a unique gift to explore cover to cover:) Big hugs and thank you always🙏

      Thanks so much, that is great to hear! I have thought about putting it on paper, and I’ll probably make it available as a PDF or something, but it won’t be nearly as effective without Karima’s narration and videography. (The firefly line is a favorite of mine also!)

    An imaginative embrace… that’s how I feel when I have the ‘gift’ of witnessing these productions. I absolutely love the illustrations and the haunting intrigue buried within the storyline that when voiced and the lines simultaneously read is a triple dose of immersion in the fantasy world – a kind of welcomed escapism! It’s truly beautiful to witness the collaborative results that mesh both your minds into unique creations. Bravo, my dears!

      Awww Sis what a gorgeous comment! You make us feel so happy we actually did this project..Your voice is the voice of inspiration and “Let’s do something else…” in the future:) Yes I became so immersed myself reading Dale’s perfect lines, not one word added or wasted and those dreamlike images..to carry me even deeper. I was in an almost transcendental place, with the music and reading out loud he’s well chosen words, I loved working on this..Dale out did himself in his own brand of creativity!! Proud to be a part of this!! Love you Sis!!

    I just watched Parts 1 and 2…can I just say – MASTERPIECES!!!! It is so soothing, gentle and relaxing to watch. It has this slightly mysterious and mystical glow to it that makes the viewer reflect and deeply listen. “City made of mist” really stood out to me, that line kind of captures the essence of this story in the imaginative yet deep feeling. I have to say it is such a fun journey to go on! You and Dale both have such creative gifts, keep on shining you two!! Thank you for these lovely cinematic experiences 🤍🤗

      Awww thank you Grace for watching the other two and now hopefully, #3 feels like a good satisfying ending:) Dale’s images are so other-wordly and for me, he chose just perfect caption..not too much, not too little. I just added some bells and whistles, but Dale can take all the credit for such an unusual and beautiful tale:) Thanks so much for loving Klara…she is a special one:)

    amazing creativity all round! Real happiness and kindness is in our heart/minds and Klara’s journey opens this … with tales of insights, collapsing of time, humbleness … sheer magic, thanks to both of you! The real journey is within, I am smiling 🙂

    Oh my goodness, Karima your narration was so calming and I found myself completely drifting with the pages into Klara’s beautiful world listening to your gorgeous voice. Dale this story and all the graphics and AI is so incredibly breathtaking. It is hard not to find yourself in Klara’s world. It almost feels like Klara is trying to get back to where she belongs in the after life to me. The cat was the spirit of the mother but she had to find the person she felt safe with enough to travel through the other worlds. What a gift. I hope that these drawings and word are in books somewhere. I loved the way you ended this story, just so amazingly gifted you two are, truly. I was completely mesmerized listening to you Karima, drawn into Klara’s provocative world with her beautiful imagination. Thank you two for this, it makes me remember many of the things I imagined when I was little to help me feel a little less crazy growing up. What a blessing these stories are. Congratulations to you both. Just one more note, I just loved Klara and the way her face changed but stayed the same really. Wow, how does one proceed from such a beautiful piece of work!

      Awww Joni, I hope I can try to do justice to this amazing comment!! That you for drifting with the pages, because that is just the biggest of compliments..We hoped to hypnotize in a subtle way, the audience and let them enter Klara’s world, with less thought and more experience. Maybe at the end, one can analyze symbolism, chosen imagery, even chosen carefully captions, which I adored reading, but to enjoy her story, is to enter the clockworld world alongside her…and when she leaves, to be alongside of her. For me Dale’s graphics and story is just amazing, and I listened to music for days, until I found what I thought added but did not diminish to the story. I love the introduction of the cat, and it happened after a brainstorming session between us, where Dale admitted he was struggling with the ending… I loved how he incorporated it to be that trustworthy entity…and then her dreamed about mother. Your words on her changing in appearance and yet always the same Klara echos one of the central themes of this story. Dale did that visually and in the story-line so well.. Klara was almost outside of space and time…being everywhere and nowhere equally. I loved how this story took you back to being a child…escaping into fantasy. This is like a child’s fantasy but geared for the modern day adult, who needs to remember how to let their imagination go……. Much love and am so grateful for this gorgeous reflection on Klara. Thank you dearest and much love to you too..I’m sure you will hear from Dale too:):) ❤️🌹🙏🤗

        Dale and Karima blessings to you both. Everything you said is beautiful and true. I easily floated with Klara and was so mesmerized, it is very unique, not like most animated films. The story, the unusual world Dale created, the music was perfect as was the narration. I will not keep carrying on but I don’t get this feeling everyday. It is a very strong sensation. Dale’s work in creating this world is truly amazing. 🌹🦋🌹❤️❤️ thank you both again.

      Thanks so much for the lovely comment, Joni! I feel more like I discovered Klara’s world and her story, than like I created it. 🙂 Which is often true when writing, but even moreso when writing based on things found while exploring the latent space of a big neural network. I love your interpretation of the journey as Klara trying to return to where she belongs in the afterlife; the Gift isn’t death, but in another way it is. It’s such a great feeling when someone, as you have, finds things in a story and and lays them out so well; thank you again!
