Enchantment

    Suspending disbelief is not nearly as powerful as believing. How often do you allow yourself to be enchanted? When last were you captivated by a story, a piece of music, or a movie? Can you think of a recent nature scene, or idea, or person who left you spellbound? We all long for enchantment, for a world of magic. But most of us learned to stop believing a long time ago. Fairies and elves, princes and princesses, talking animals and friendly trees – all these were safely packed away in a box called ‘childhood fantasies’, along with Father Christmas, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.
