We spent the journey in meditation, feeling that a preparation of quietness and peace was essential. The drifting ease and blankness of the void, and the blue light made stillness simple. As we sped on our way without apparent movement, …
Far away we heard the sound of trumpets. At once there was movement everywhere. We leapt to our feet and hurried out to the green. All around us, people were doing the same, and without any words, each seemed to …
“What a delightful place,” Rose sighed, looking round our house. “The comfort of it!” “See how simple it is,” Janet said. “On earth, people complicate life so much. Here, with a place to rest, fruit to eat and all the …
Janet and I gasped simultaneously. “On the sea!” I echoed, “but I thought you said she came from earth? How can she have such powers?” “Does a soap-bubble have ‘powers’ when it rises higher than a man can jump?” he …
I was particularly pleased with our coming visit for I had long had a plan in my mind for acquiring one of the houses in the Plane Between. Remembering the happiness of Stephen and James there, I thought that Janet …
