The morning sun picked out the caramel chocolate colours of the stately creature crossing my path. So slow, so steady, so dignified, I thought of the word magisterial and it fitted. The creature’s lack of hurry was magisterial. Even the black eyes seemed sleek and curious and even kind. And I walked on with my two dogs and then felt compelled to stop; to look back. How could I leave the creature to the random trample of other creatures? So I walked back to the path and found some clean tissue paper and picked up the creature and moved it to the sanctuary of the long grass. I told this anecdote to the NLP Master Practitioner Group with Peter McNab at Excellenceforall as an illustration and a revelation of the power of NLP. It was part of the gift I said of NLP that our attention has become enhanced and wonder has shifted our perceptions of the ordinary. And I felt truly honoured to have met such a creature.
