Vision #6 – The Choice

B.P.K. – 11/04/2025

I opened my eyes and saw…

…I was standing in the center of an empty room.

The room was plain; its walls painted a creamy white color. It was illuminated but I saw no source of light anywhere. There were no lamps, no overhead lights, nothing at all in the room. The wall I stood facing was bare and flat. On the wall to my left I saw there was a plain white door and next to the door a small window. On the wall to my right I saw there was another plain white door, this door also had a small window next to it. I turned around to find that the wall behind me was as bare as the one I had just faced. I looked toward the left and then toward the right.

“What am I seeing here?” I asked aloud.

I waited and listened.

“You have a choice to make.” The whisper came softly to my ears.

I walked first to the door and the small window that was now to my left. I looked through the small window and found myself looking out across a vast desert. The sun beat down on bright sands for as far as I could see creating wavy mirages in the distance. There was something out there beyond the rising dunes of the desert on its horizon. I touched the door’s simple round handle. It was hot to my touch. I took my hand away from it as if it had been a hot stove.

I turned away from that door and window and walked over to the opposite door and window and looked out of this one.

My mouth fell open at what I saw. “Wow,” I whispered to myself.

As far as I could see out this window were lush, vibrant grasslands. Spotted around the rolling green hills were patches of trees that provided shade from the gentle sunlight nourishing everything in sight. I saw a wide river of shining blue water lazily winding its way through the valleys of the gentle slopes of grass. Grey rocks and boulders lined the banks of the river and its water flowed slowly along unhindered. I saw every kind of creature imaginable inhabiting this wondrous place. Prides of lions rolled on the grass next to grazing sheep. Snakes dozed on rocks curled next to small critters of all kinds. Predators and prey drank from the water of the river together indifferent to the food or danger that stood right next to them. Birds of all kinds flew through the air of this place. I reached out without thought and put my hand to the simple round handle of the door leading to this paradise and it was cold to my touch, icy cold. I withdrew my hand just as quickly as I had from the other door’s handle.

“You have a choice to make.” A man’s voice said from behind me.

I turned to see a man standing near the door that led to the desert. Though I knew he was a man I couldn’t tell you what he looked like. He seemed shrouded in light and blurred to my senses. I walked towards him to talk with him.

When I passed the center of the room another voice spoke from behind me saying, “I wouldn’t really call it much of a choice.”

I turned around and saw a man standing where I had just stood near the door that led to the vibrant grasslands. This man I could clearly see. It was strange but he almost looked like me. He stood as tall as I did. His hair was the same color and style as mine. His eyes were the shade of mine. He had a smile that I remembered from the mirror. Was I looking at myself?

The man that looked like me smiled at me then reached out and took hold of the door to the grasslands and swung it wide open for me. A gentle breeze rushed into the plain room filling it with the smells of grass, flowers, and the sounds of the contented animals.

The man nodded at me towards the open doorway and said, “Well, come on. Make the right choice.”

I heard a gentle sigh behind me and turned to see the blurred man reach down and open the door that led to the desert. He pulled it open slowly and with much effort. It almost seemed that even the act of opening the door caused him pain. Sand rushed into the empty room from the now open doorway to the desert. Though I couldn’t see this man’s face I knew he smiled at me. I sensed an urgency in him for me to choose this doorway to the desert, but I couldn’t be sure.

I found that I now stood in the place where I had first arrived in the center of this empty room.

I looked again at the man that looked like me. He smiled at me urging me to choose the doorway to the grasslands.

I looked again at the man I could barely see. He urged me to choose the doorway to the desert.

“You have a choice to make.” The whisper came again louder than before.

…I let go and found myself returned.
