[i]”As I grew up, everything started getting grey and dull. I could still remember the amazing intensity of the world I’d lived in as a child, but I thought the dulling of perception was an inevitable consequence of age – just as the lens of the eye is boud to gradually dim.

I’ve since found tricks that can make the world blaze up again in about fifteen seconds, and the effects last for hours. For example if I have a group of students who are feeling fairly safe and comfortable with each other, I get them to pace about the room shouting out the wrong name for everything their eyes light on. Mabey theres time to shout ten wrong names before I stop them. Then I ask whether other people look larger or smaller…”[/i]
