What greeted me when I opened my eyes was an elderly man smiling at
me. His eyes were unlike any I had ever seen. Not in color but in the
wisdom they hid behind them. It was as if Light itself was hidden behind
it. Staring into it, I slowly sunk deeper and deeper into a trance and
my ears began hearing a soft hum.
The man blinked, freeing me from
my trance and causing me to cry out. Everything about my conundrum was
incomprehensible.Including my yelp, which sounded suspiciously like that
of a baby. That was when I finally noticed the man I had been staring
at was massive. No, I was tiny. Was I a baby?
The man chuckled and
put his hand on mine and brought his mouth close to my ears. "May you
be able to follow the path of Light child."
The Light? Was it the
thing behind his eyes? The absurdity of the situation finally sunk in.
My breath sped up as I attempted to make sense of my new reality.
Stolen story; please report.
The
tree had said to close my eyes for a bit. I prayed with every part of
my being that would somehow fix whatever went wrong and put me in a
baby's body.

I
had no idea what any of this meant. All it did was confirm I was indeed
a baby. Where was I? Who was I? In midst of my confusion and panic, I
chuckled when I realized How was I? was a in fact valid question in this
situation too. How absurd.
The tree had promised that in this
life, my actions would not be met with distrust and betrayal. For
whatever reason, I believed it. And I still did.
I sighed
deeply. For now there was nothing I could do except trust the tree.
Trust the Tree, I repeated to myself. if I had said that to me just a
few hours earlier I would have thought the me right now was insane.
