I have a shape for humanity. In a sense, it's a single soul spiraling in an erratic pattern around a type of gravity well. Each time the soul goes into the well a life ends, each time it shoots back out a life begins. If looked at from a certain angle you could see that it's all one big line, but we don't have that perspective so we tend to think of all the lives happening at the same time.

Some people's arc takes them far away from the well, others keep them close. A person you saw yesterday could be at the end of the line, a person you see tomorrow could be at the beginning. If you could unwind the entire line and mold it into a shape that would be understandable to our limited minds, you would find the most intricate and beautiful story that we could never imagine.

I see it more clearly than I can speak it, but I'll keep trying.
