It is a gift 1 me by God. Everyone has a You have yours.” “How long have you had it?” “I have known about it since I was about 15 years old. What else do you want to know?” “I will soon graduate from col lege. My father runs a business and he wants me to come work with him.” “No, it will never work. Your father is too much like you are. You don’t like to be told what to do. You both would rather give orders than to receive them.” “But what if he retires?” “Oh, well that would be all right. As long as you are your own boss.” Still the man was awed. The words she used seemed to charac terize him perfectly. How could she do it? How could she know? “There is a woman I met who lives in another state. When I graduate, she wants me to come see her. Should I?” “Go. Give it a chance. Give some one a chance to be close to you. And don’t wait too long. You are young, but you will get older, and you could live a short, unhappy life if you aren’t careful. Speed, alcohol and drugs will not make you happy. Why do you need these things? And remember that sex is not all there is to a relationship. If sex is all you want, go out on the street and get it, and that way you won’t hurt any one.” “Can you predict the future?” The woman spoke impatiently now: “You are going to be all right but you must do these things I’ve told you.” “But if you can see the future, the future is the future; what difference does it make?” “You are going to be all right, if you do these things.” Creative portrait package Multiple exposures, indoor/outdoor photography, unlimited imagination.
