The author, internally: "Could I use up that same energy... to conjure joy..." The author, to a friend, with awe: "Who... what if we. could walk on the clouds?" The author, internally: "... instead of fear?" The author and others laying on clouds: "Maybe everyone could have their own cloud planet to live on!" The author, internally, peacefully: "Then, maybe, instead of making myself sick... I could make magic."
