i want to live in a world where the past tense, the present tense, and the future tense--all avoid pre-tense.
i want to live in a world where the future protects the past...and, where, without question or doubt, the past protects the future...this may be the greatest present we may ask for.

i want all of the best dreams of all ages to be the "ourstory" of the future.
i want all the horrors of all our pasts to be forgiven, miscellaneous errors of ignorance, miserably multiplied by unmitigated arrogance.

i want to live in a world where no child will ever ask, why did you save my life?
i do not want to live in a world where children ask us, the well-fed, the educated, the healthy, the rich, the powerful, "innocent questions" for which i have no innocent answers.
