Enchantment

Only occasionally do we allow ourselves to peek back into the enchantment box through the eyes of our children, or perhaps through the flickering lens of a cinema projector. The rest of the time, our world is somewhat dull and grey, predictable and rational. We draw a sharp line between fact and fiction, between reality and illusion. And yet we trick ourselves into only believing what we can see, instead of trusting what we can feel. We are victims of our own self-deception, conjuring evidence for drudgery when our intuition is whispering wondrous secrets in our ear.
