Excerpt from “Angels, Horses and Other Worldly Lessons:

…“I have an idea, Chucky,” Tina said as she settled her eyes on the lawn outside the classroom window. “Let’s go outside and see if we can find the Cosmic Lattice. We might as well do something fun since time has stopped here!”

“Yeah! Let’s go!” Chucky answered, excitedly. Tina had told Chucky about the Cosmic Lattice and how she and the others had ridden across it with her angel between worlds.

They left the classroom making their way out of the building and into the yard where Tina had first discovered that time could stop. She wondered why Marguerite had yet to appear to guide her to the ‘other world’ but she figured they might be able to find the way themselves. Tina was becoming more and more confident about her ability to control things around her. Her angel had shown her that she, like every other person, was capable of creating whatever they wanted by deciding and then staying focused on it. People were wizards according to Marguerite and at the ‘other world’ school the students had always known this. That was the very thing that made it so much fun to visit there. If the children there wanted something, they merely created it. No one there ever wondered whether or not they could do or have something; they knew they could!

“Look at this, Chucky. This is where we can step through,” Tina said, motioning to the opening in the fence where she had followed the orange cat several months ago…

… All at once Tina felt a thickness in the air in front of her. She reached for Chucky’s hand and pulled him up next to her, then stepped through the thickness as if stepping through a doorway. Where they had just been disappeared behind them and in front of them lay the Cosmic Lattice, buzzing and stretching out as far as they could see.

“Here it is!” exclaimed Tina.

“What is this exactly? Where are we? Where’s home… what…” Chucky said nervously looking back towards where he thought they had just come from.

“It’s okay. We can get back any time we want to. If we follow this for a while we will get to the ‘other world.’ This is the Cosmic Lattice I keep telling you about. Listen to it hum. Isn’t it beautiful?” Tina asked.

“Yeah, it’s cool!” Chucky acknowledged. They walked along for some time in silence enjoying the floating feeling as they glided across the Lattice effortlessly. “This is really cool,” he stated again.

“I like it, too. Marguerite says we can travel to the ‘other world’ without it but it’s more fun this way,” Tina answered.

Suddenly they were at the open field across which they could see the open classroom building where Tina had learned her first lessons in Quantum Physics. She had learned that the universe was made up of energy and everything we see is just energy vibrating at different speeds.
