Now this morning to my Lord I spoke of last night’s dream. And to him I said, “My dear Lord, last night as you slept, I dreamt. And in this dream I studied the patterns our footprints made in the dirt. And I studied the patterns our paths made through the streets of the city. And I studied the patterns our roads made across the land. And I studied the patterns our ships made across the seas. And I studied the patterns our planes made across the skies. And I studied the patterns our rockets made between the worlds. And I studied the patterns our knowledge made as it was broadcast across the galaxy. And I studied the patterns of the galaxies as they danced around each other over time. And all of these looked to me like the patterns of our tears, as they run untouched across the surface of our skin.”
