She would look down on the world like it was a real life map. She'd follow the roads until she couldn't see any further. She'd follow all the connecting streets that weren't covered over in trees. Sometimes she'd ask to borrow the binoculars and see even further down the road. It was like looking into the future. She would watch a little red car and predict which turns it would make. She knew what it looked like and where they were going before they did, and they were closer to their destination than she was. It was fascinating to her as a child. She used to imagine that's how God felt looking over the world. Knowing everything before it happened. Seeing the bigger picture. This was how God felt, she would imagine, back when she believed in such things.
