Recently, I received a postcard from Ireland. Without reading the
message, I knew who had sent it. Several months earlier, I had met a
charming woman named Jessica. We discussed the poetry of William
Butler Yeats, and Jessica expressed a strong desire to visit the Lake
Isle of Innisfree, and other places in Ireland that Yeats had loved.
When I said she should go, she explained that she could not afford it,
and besides, had never travelled overseas. I suggested that she
inscribe the word "Innisfree" on a blue candle.
"Blue represents travel," I explained. "And writing down where you
want to go on the side of the candle means, that as it burns, you send
your desire out into the universe."
Although Jessica seemed interested, I doubted she would do anything
about it. Consequently, I was delighted to receive her postcard. In
her message she explained that within days of burning a candle a
friend had suggested they take a trip together. The friend arranged
part-time work to help pay for the trip, and three months later they
visited Innisfree....
