Reading...Dora Van Gelder's "The Real World of Fairies: A True First-Person Account". 

Actually, "read", it was a slender book at a mere 120 pages, slender compared to most books, but positively voluminous given it's subject.

It begins by quoting Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and various of Eddington's not only theories but later doubts, making room to color in the margins with all manner of wonderful creatures beyond the apprehension of most mere mortals. 

Shortly after this an old bookmark falls out - the bridge, from a pack of rolling papers. Undoubtedly that improved the book immensely.

Now, it is I suspect clearly not only possible but very likely that there are any number of creatures that live in spheres beyond our apprehension, and if we take the premise of a conscious, living universe this should not really be so surprising or absurd. 

The miracle of our own sphere - tangible, visible, is a matter of scale...that we are composed of what amounts - at best - to a pinprick of matter that swarms and organizes to give us shape, idea, thought - and that pinprick, even so it may be generous, the further down we look the less that we see, the universe may well indeed possess nothing approaching matter, instead composed of fluid lines of energy. 

So in this, given that we are comprised of no less than 99.999999% space, the thought of an order beings perhaps even just a few orders of magnitude more or less substantial than ourselves should not be tough to imagine. However, this did not persuade me (nor did I suspect it would). It was however an entertaining look at somebody else's world...

A gold mine of alternative thinking (not necessarily accurate - although, caveat - reality is subjective - hers is merely a bit more colorful) - links below:

Now, very definitely 'twould be handy to get into the gnomes and kobold's good books and find the earth's hidden treasures, so next time I'm on the prospecting trail I'll have to keep my eyes and ears more finely attuned...
