When I was....

When I was young, I could see the future.

It was filled with things that I would do - would become. It was filled with permissions, possibilities, and paths. It was clear and unclear - it was a mystery, waiting to be solved.

And what I saw... What I THOUGHT that I saw.......

I did not.

It was a figment. A phantasm. A fantasy.

What I see now, is that I could not see the future. I could not see what would be. Who I would become....

I could only see as far as my horizon would allow for - I could only tell you about the things that I knew about.

The things unknown to me at that time have shaped me more than I could have guessed. The unknown has become larger than what I knew. The more that I experienced, the less that I could be shaped by the smaller world view.

As I grew - I grew.

When I was young, I could not see the future. I could not see me, or you. Or this.... I could not see where I am, or who I am.
