Consider the web.

Every strand overlapping,
Binding one to another,
Creating the lattice.
Every strand connected,
Moving with each other,
Feeling every impact.
Every strand a decision.
A yes,
Or a no.

Our choices,
Stretch infinitely along time,
Intersecting with the choices of others,
This is how the web is created.
A choice made thrums along its length,
And a choice not made shrinks and pulls on its neighbors,
Until the whole of the web is warped and distorted.
It folds in upon itself,
It creates holes within the framework,
It twists and knots together the past and the future,
Creating an alien landscape,
Filled with pitfalls,
And uncertainty.

But step back.
Farther.
Farther still.
Abandon your narrow perspective,
And claim your reward;
Life.
In its glittering, crystalline form.
