This series of stories continues the explorations begun in the Lantern and Seeing Meaning series, bringing relational ontology into a mythic, kaleidoscopic narrative. Here, meaning, perception, and attention are not abstract concepts but lived through story, in a world where mirrors, jewels, and impossible geometries reflect the dynamic interplay between observer, environment, and semiotic field.
The protagonist, Liora, enters a hall where perspective shifts, stairs fold impossibly, mirrors multiply reality, and jewelled light fractures endlessly. Through her journey, readers witness a hero’s cycle of challenge, trial, insight, and integration, where the impossible is navigated not by force or certainty, but by attentive perception, relational alignment, and imaginative play.
Key themes threaded through the series:
-
Perspective and Reflection — Mirrors and kaleidoscopes symbolise the multiplicity of perception, showing that observation is inseparable from relational context.
-
Relational Navigation — Impossible stairs and shifting platforms dramatise the process of moving through complex fields of potential, teaching readers that choice is grounded in awareness rather than fixed direction.
-
Attention as Agency — Jewels, refracted light, and spirals highlight that insight emerges through focus, not mere movement; meaning is actively actualised.
-
Integration and Return — The final stories show that the extraordinary, once perceived and embodied, transforms ordinary experience: the hero returns with a newly attuned consciousness, capable of seeing patterns and possibilities invisible to the unobservant eye.
This series invites readers — children and adults alike — to explore a world where perception and meaning are entwined, where imagination illuminates relational patterns, and where the boundaries of the possible are shaped by attention and insight. It is a celebration of curiosity, wonder, and the luminous journey of learning to navigate the extraordinary in every moment.
