WHEN I WAS TWENTY-FOUR years old I attended a lecture by one of the great scientific minds of our generation—a man who has been compared to Copernicus, Galileo and Einstein—the British physicist Stephen Hawking. During the lecture Professor Hawking posed a question to the audience that seemed to trouble him. Why, he asked, given the relativity of time, can we remember the past but not the future?

I have puzzled over his query for some time. And I have wondered if there are those who can indeed remember the future. Maybe that’s how my grandfather knew. Maybe that’s why he told me when I was still a small boy that the Christmas Box Miracle would happen to me one day.
