A little light listening for you whilst you read the article.

Although nothing has really happened, the past couple of days have gone quite quickly. I've helped Madge spring clean the house (rather early for a spring clean I thought) and prepare the garden ready for the spring planting. Today we were sat in the conservatory after breakfast talking about the events since I arrived in Tarocchi. I told her that I thought maybe I had learnt enough about myself and that I should try to get back to my world. So she packed me up a picnic and off I went back to where I had originally met Henry with the hope of getting home. I got completely lost and ended back in Pentacle village again without even having stopped to eat my picnic.

Madge laughed when I arrived back at number three and told me that I obviously have more to learn and I was welcome to stay. Rather than waste the picnic we had it for our lunch whilst Madge showed me endless photographs of Robert and Jane. I have to say I was feeling quite frustrated as I felt I had learnt quite a lot about myself and couldn't imagine what more I needed to know.

After dinner that evening we were all sat in the living room when all of a sudden the room was lit up with the most amazing glowing light. Madge and Henry jumped up to look out of the window and then rushed to the front door. A lady who was barely covered by a single small sheet literally glided in through the door – I swear her feet weren't touching the floor. She gave off a shimmering light that lit up the room as if the sun had come in with her.

“I'm here to see Jane.” she said.

Jane at that point was rushing down the stairs and skid to a stop in front of the lady. The lady handed Jane an envelope which she tore open and for a few minutes just stood staring at the piece of paper she had taken out. All of a sudden she let out a whoop and started jumping up and down. Then she rushed around the room hugging everyone. Finally she flopped down into one of the chairs and just sat grinning at the piece of paper.

“Mom, I've passed, I've passed.”

“Well, lets have a look then dear. How well did you do?”

“See for yourself – four A's and a B.”

Madge took the paper from Jane and looked at it and then passed it to Henry. They both congratulated and hugged her again and then Henry went off to fetch a bottle of wine and some glasses. After we had toasted Jane's success Henry told her that she now had to seriously consider what she was going to do with her life.

“Who was that lady?” I asked.

“Oh, I'm sorry dear, I should have explained. Her name is Gaia and she is known as the World. She lives in Major Village and when she comes to visit you just know that something wonderful has happened.” said Madge beaming.

“Yes, but it's always something you've worked hard for. It's not just out of the blue. In our Jane's case she has studied hard and has passed all her exams. She has reached the goal she set herself years ago and now because she has achieved so much she has the freedom to choose what she is going to do with the rest of her life.”

“I can't believe that I don't need to study any more. I can throw away the books and get on with my life.”

Henry spluttered and then laughed.

“Oh no, young lady – believe me, you NEVER stop studying and learning. We are all students of life and that has a LOT of lessons to hand out to each and everyone of us.”

“Oh Henry, don't get all serious. Let her enjoy this moment.”

“I'm not, I'm laughing at the fact that she thinks she's learnt everything she needs to. Do you remember being young and foolish. Oh, to be young and foolish again.”

“But dad, I'm not foolish.” said Jane stamping her feet in indignation.

At which we all collapsed laughing knowing that she couldn't understand what Henry had meant at such a tender age. And the truth is we were all wishing we could go back to that point in our own lives and do it all again.
