What was it that Enchanteur had said? Hmm let’s think… I am sure she said Rainbow Beach . This is not a beach… it’s a a thriving busy place where people meet and exchange, words and whispers ,goods and ideas.I cannot see even a hint of a bathing suit and I must admit that a mild sense of panic is setting in- how will I find the beach amongst all these people , amongst all these things? Am I supposed to find something here to take on my journey? I look around and the scene gets stranger and stranger- lanterns in antique shops that seem as old as antiquity, huge aluminium pots to store things, water carriers chanting their song of water and tea, and old broken down dolls. What is this place?
I beat back the panic- I have entred the wrong portal- it seemed so magnificent, so right , but it did not lead to a beach let alone Rainbow Beach. I must return and restart. I search for the portal, which seems to have disappeared in the very mortar of this place. I can see a wonderful molded metal door , but this is not the portal through which I entered. Dare I go through this portal ?? I said I would go with open heart and mind, and it is the only portal I can see…….. I must go on.

Wonderful…I love that doorway. And you won’t be alone in your confusion. I think a lot of us will be backtracking to the Murmuring Woods.
