Hearts' Desire
Jun. 4th, 2005 02:13 pmHeart's Desire: Think about something you once wanted so badly but never acquired. Write about how you think your life would’ve been different if you had received what your heart desired.
Well, I certainly wouldn't mind getting my hands on a TARDIS recall device! How that Clown ever managed to have one when I am quite clearly the more deserving recipient, I can't possibly imagine. Still, I wouldn't exactly call that my hearts' desire. The phrase implies something nearly impossible to obtain, which a recall device is not. It's just a matter of who you know.
To tell the absolute truth, I have what I've always wanted. To travel through time and space; to make a difference in the cosmos. I never asked for more than that.
Except . . . I will admit to fantasizing, every now and then, that Time Lords as a people would stop being so insular and do something proactive for a change. I don't mean by changing history or transgressing the Laws of Time. No, I mean by offering a hand to those civilizations less fortunate than our own. The ones deserving of a chance they might not otherwise be given. I can only imagine! Instead of sitting on their collective arses contemplating Infinity, the Time Lords could be known for their benevolence as caring advisors and guiding influences. Think of how many galactic wars could be averted! How many dying races could be given the chance to rise to their potential. How many lives might be saved? How many cultures allowed to flourish?
Fortunately, I am not so naïve as to think that such a thing will ever be even remotely possible.
