Summary:         William remembers.


I am alone.  Yet I am not alone.  I float in the river of life
with all the universe around me.  There are others.  I can feel 
their presence even in my solitude.  And I remember.

I don't think I am supposed to remember.  Vague slips of memories 
flow through my mind.  I'd like to hold on to each one with all 
the wonder and awe it deserves, but these small scenes and 
pictures are elusive.  Earmarked for later discovery, each is as 
intangible as a wisp of cloud or a wing brushing gently against my 
cheek.

I think I remember because God has a sense of humor.  He is the 
Great I AM, and yet has noticed a small speck of life floating in 
the cosmic plan enough to smile and wink in conspiracy.

I know a few things for fact.  I know the others that were with me 
in the One Place were all given the gift of forgetfulness.   When 
each one was plucked by an Angel and given to HIM to be placed in 
the stream of life, the last thing that the angels did was to 
place their finger on the lips of each, creating a lovely bow to 
each smile.  But when HE breathed life into me it was different.  
There was not forgetfulness--only purpose.

HE winked.  And I remembered, everything.

I know where I am.  I am in my mother's womb.  I know who I am.   
I am The One Who is To Remember.  I am to change this world.  I am 
to be smarter, kinder, and more loving than all the others before 
me.  I am to be the one to lead my people into the next leap of 
civilization.  I am to go to the stars.  I am to return and show 
others how to go to new and different worlds.  I am to meet other 
beings from other worlds created by HIM.  I am to bring peace to 
all those who have strife and I can start all this as soon as I 
figure out how to get out of here.

Remember, I told you that HE has a sense of humor.  All these
goals to remember and no map.  Well, I guess I will leave a few 
things up to my parents.  I have a lot of growing up to do before 
I will be able to lead the others.  

I wonder why I was picked to fulfill this task.  It's not like I'm 
HIS own son.  I'm not Jesus.  I don't think that I am anything 
other than smart and chosen.  Perhaps it is because of my parents.  
He has a special love for them.  I am HIS special gift to them-
their miracle.  They will know what to do.

I remember now!  I am William.  I am to be born.

Now.
