Entering a parallel world

There is a parallel world around us and for the most - you and I don't recognize it's actually there. In fact if you are reading this then you most certainly don't appreciate its value. This strange sounding notion hit me yesterday when I was driving through town with my youngest son, Nicolas (5). During our trip he would stare out of the window and make "funny" sounds. You see, he has just started to read and so tries his new found skills on all the signs, number-plates or other written evidence of this parallel world he can find. A world, that until something clicked in his brain, he didn't know was there. Soon, he'll start to pick up books and by reading them discover how large this new world actually is.
