A Portal Appears [11]

I don’t have very many memories of playing with friends. I often wondered what it would have been like to be a regular, healthy kid. Seeing other children running around without care through my bedroom window was the closest I got to feeling normal. Watching them, it filled me with both delight and jealousy.

When it came, what once was a window I could peer into for vicarious youth was replaced with a window into something else---but I didn’t know what. Its shiny exterior was rigid while the liquid interior wobbled and swayed. It seemed to be inviting me in. After a slight hesitation, I walked through what seemed like a lifetime condensed into half a second.

  Sea Lights [Shimmering]

The first thing that hit me was the smell. It was the smell of street vendors selling different foods I had never seen before. Standing in awe, I took it all in as much as I could.
The second was the expression they wore on their faces. Everyone looked to be rushing about, but not in the same way that adults did when they were just trying to get something done; their strides were vibrant and full of life like they had everywhere to be, but they were excited to get there. The feeling was contagious and everyone had become intoxicated by the sense of careful hope in the air. I was no exception.

Water Temple   [Silver Gardens]

Their steps sounded different from mine, but their minds felt familiar. I learned about their culture and their passions by living among them as a member of their tribe. Even during a respite, they expressed their dreams of creating a monument that would complete their world. It celebrated what they saw as the source of life for everything on earth. When we had finally finished, their eyes lit up at the wonder that we had created with our own hands. The bonfire next to it lit up all the darkness away that night.

Rest Area [Tranquil]

After I had finished saying my goodbyes, I followed a path away from the temple into a forest. When I came to a clearing, my vision was suddenly awash with blue and white sparks everywhere. My eyes adjusted after a few seconds, and a giant waterfall came into view. The water flowed down into a small lake in front of me. I could feel the sheer enormity of its life force---it enveloped me in a warm embrace that was comforting and somehow familiar. If someone had told me that that’s what love felt like, I would not have doubted them. I wanted to remain encircled in its clasp for eternity.


  Sands of Time [Lifestream]

Surrounded by what seemed like an infinite ocean, I found myself on an island with no recollection of how I had gotten there. Everywhere I looked, the gentle waves moved past each other---receding farther and farther back into the horizon over and over. I could see light in every direction and feel the reverberations of time within every cell of my body. I felt like I could breathe in the lives of everyone who had existed before me and everyone who will come to be long after I was gone.
