The magician and the child

the long version

"Are you Poseidon?" the child asked the strange creature in the wave-tunnel. "Neptune? Moby Dick?" "Ha!" the voice replied. "I am a magician. We all have our purpose. Mine is to make magic! I invent things that you have never seen before. I will show you sights no one has ever seen." The two looked and laughed. The tunnel was suddenly full of objects. Some could be seen clearly, others were dark. Something shiny flew by. What were they, the magic things? What did they see, the child and the magician on their journey through the wave and through the sky and finally back to the beach? Can others see what they saw? No one, maybe, can see what the child and the magician saw. There are pictures that show something of what was there for them. But those two made many things of each thing--beautiful things and ugly things--things that were exciting to them. hat the reader sees will depend on what he wants to see--which is what this book is really about.
