Have you ever had a premonition? Can you tell the difference from a premonition and an anxiety attack? Sometimes I can't tell. I don't have anxiety attacks nearly so much as I used to. So .. this must be a premonition. A portent. Something's coming.
I don't know what. I don't know when. This whole week has left me feeling expectant. (Not pregnant) The phone rings and I'm just sure that "here it is..."
Have you ever met a stranger on the street, or in a store.. looked into his or her eyes...seen their faces turn into a skeleton, just morph from a human into something hideous, and know that they're dying? No, not in time, like we all are dying, but dying and soon. You can't warn them, you can't say, hey, your time is limited, very limited, you'd better tie up loose ends. You can't say... wow, you're dead and you don't even know it yet. All you can say is a tentative, 'be careful' as you walk away.. and that, coming from a stranger, is enough to unnerve them to look behind and watch you walk away while they walk out in front of a car. Yes.. it's better to close your eyes for a moment, and open them slowly, then pass as though you saw nothing at all.
Visions can be frightening.
Premonitions are annoying. Visions, though scary, let you see what's going to happen. Premonitions only hint. They're like a puzzle. They may or may not be precise. They could be playing games. One thing may mean something different altogether. I'd rather have a vision. They're far less frequent. And make more sense.
