Extract

‘Auntie, speak to me! I'm frightened because it's dark’‘What good would that do? You can't see me’‘That doesn't matter. If anyone speaks it gets light’

Problems are painful, not only for what they are, manifest for all to see in the world beyond, but from how they are perceived within ourselves. A change in our perception of them can alter them in ways which may seem magical.
