A short argument in four parts

How to keep a little wonder

A field guide for the perfectly impossible.

Make room for the unlikely

Leave one chair empty; the best conversations rarely arrive on schedule.

Principle one
For curious company

Keep the rules beautifully clear

Principle two
For orderly nonsense

Let the small things sing

A silver thimble, a mustard clock: detail is where the room starts to breathe.

Principle three
For attentive eyes

End before the explanation

Close the book while the question is still wearing its finest coat.

Principle four
For lingering thoughts
