After a long, exhausting day, we settle in comfortably, wrap ourselves in a blanket and, with a cup of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and cinnamon, lose ourselves in a favourite book (it works with coffee, too). Or we run a bubble bath and sink into the fragrant water and a gripping story.
Through the privilege of human creativity, we build ourselves a safe pocket of space and time, where even dangerous situations sometimes come alive. We enter original worlds, live the fates of heroes, and touch fears, desires, and ideas that are not our own – and yet they transform us.
