Kai let his question echo in his mind, but also heard Pongo confident voice echoing back in reply, “Eternity…eternity….bound by time but no in eternity…”

What could this possibly mean? Time is. Right? But did in bind Kai or did he control his time, this restless itch didn’t usually plague him after listening to Pongo. Today was different. Today he couldn’t let go.

Kai was still restless in his spirit as he lay down to sleep that night. Pongo was there, in his dreams, saying come with me, "I will give you a glimpse of this eternity of which I speak"

Kai was suddenly taken back to his childhood, watching his mother prepare the evening meal,

his baby brother playing nearby. He could smell the food, his favorite meal, as it was placed in front of him. Before he could take a bite Pongo was there again, "follow me".

Darkness, then a small circle of light growing brighter until they came out to a meadow lush and green.

"What is this place," asked Kai?

"It is the world at peace, the end of time and the beginning of eternity. See how the lion and the lamb graze together. Time means nothing when you dream, and will mean nothing when everything is complete," said Pongo.

Then darkness fell again over Kai. Sensing a light he opened his eyes, not to a perfect end of all things, but back in his small bedroom.

But the vision remained, a feeling that what we can see, is only a small part of the world around us.
