I stood in an open space and saw many lines. I saw directions that curved and twisted. In my mind, I felt unhinged, all of the voices confused me. Then I touched a line and I saw many things, war and famine, death and sorrow. I drew back and began to shake at the horrible things I had seen. Then I stumbled and touched another line, in a moment I saw great towering cities glistening like diamonds in the sun. I looked at children playing and heart the sound of music. I saw great vast spaces between the cities, filled with flowers and trees. I pulled back and began to touch another line then another. One by one each showed a different future. Some were wonderful and some were horrible. While still others were both. In one we learned our lesson and forgot war for peace. In all of these I understood that these were lines of what the future could be, but we must be willing to create it.
