The Bridge Across Forever: A True Love Story

"Just fine," she said. "It's nothing like before! This is wonderful!"
"You are so smart!" I said. "So wise and lovely you are. You could have your pick of any man out there."
She squeezed my arm. "I choose this one, thank you. Time to start again?"
I nodded, switched on my microphone. "Here we go," I said. "Let us continue. Any question ever asked since the dawn-of humankind, we promise you, we can answer it to our complete satisfaction!"
So much of what we said sounded crazy, yet none of it was false ... as if two theoretical physicists stood on stage to say that when we travel near lightspeed, we get younger than nontravellers; that a mile of space next to the sun is different from a mile of space next to the earth because the sun-mile space is curved more than the earth-mile.
Silly ideas, worth the admission price in smiles, but they're true. Is high-energy physics interesting because it's true or because it's crazy?
"Ma'am," I said, nodding to a woman standing mid-audience, wondered where she'd take us next.
"Do you intend to die?"
Easy question; an answer to split between us.
We sailed that day with the wind of knowing that had changed and taught us, through a sea of questions:
Why do we have problems?
Can death separate us? Since you're going to say it can't, how do we talk to friends who have died?
Is there no such thing as evil?
What's it like, married to an actress?
Have you accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your own Personal Saviour?
What's a nation for?
Do you ever get sick?
Who's in the UFOs?
Is your love different now from a year ago?
How much money do you have?
Is Hollywood really glamorous?
If I've lived before, why have I forgotten?
Is she as wonderful as you say? What don't you like about each other?
Are you done changing?
Can you see your own future?
What difference does it make, anything.you say?
How do you get to be a movie-star?
Have you ever changed your past?
Why does music affect us the way it does?
Do something psychic, please.
