‘I was sitting under a tree in the garden when a fairy came walking around my feet. She was hurt, clutching her shoulder, face grimaced in pain. I looked in the direction she was looking and saw a bit of her wing under a leaf on the ground by my hand. My mother called me to dinner, and I jumped up and left the garden.’ ‘My experience opened the door to my imagination in a very conscious way. It was profound and has been with me ever since.’ ‘The experience led to my future and led me away from my parents’ belief system.’
