So, this magic “meændearth” land we’re on is simultaneously on my home planet? I just focus and—

No, no—you don’t focus…

Your mind seems big to you, because it’s your whole world. But, to the universe, a focused mind is no more than the tip of a pin. Percolate… De-focus. Let your mind spread out like a massive cosmic cloud…

Now—let your mind wander, and the feet will follow.

Wait! There’s a creature I recognize from my planet! My father said it’s… What was the word? Starts with an “i”…

“Indigenous”! An “indigenous” species!

Excellent! We’ll stick with it a while. Let its presence work on your subconscious…

Later..

Hey, look! The horizon’s changed to mountains! We must be on my planet!

Uh… Didn’t you say your planet had—

—one moon?

“Invasive”… It was an “invasive” species…
