The horrible, nightmarish vision fades, and I finally exhale, my breath
catching in my throat as the beginnings of a sob. I squeeze my eyes shut
tightly, but cannot stop the tears. It only takes a moment for the monks
to notice my distress. Brother Jess breaks from his meditation and lays a
hand on my shoulder. "What's wrong? What did you see?"
Not knowing what else to do, I confide in him what I have seen. "It is amazing that you have had such a vision your first time meditating." he remarks. "It was awful. But what does it mean? Did I see the future?" I sigh, knowing that if it is, I must avoid such a possible future at all costs. "Possibly. Preminitions are powerful visions, capabale of showing us outcomes of our decisions, and to guide us to the correct path." Jess replies. "There is another possiblity. You could have been experiencing events through the eyes of someone you share a bond with." "Well... I do have a friend enslaved in the mines, but in the vision I was myself, not him." "It's not uncommon for us to view ourelves as taking the place of another when we see their experiences through visions." Jess explains. I shake my head. It's all so confusing. I think of Don, and how much he must have suffered to survive those harsh conditions, if that is what the vision was meant to show me. But why would I see such a thing now? Don's almost free, right?
