    Meaning the difference between the idea that a stork delivers babies and a woman describing the lived experience of conception and childbirth.

    Well, with respect to fairies (or, for that matter, any kind of ecstatic spiritual experience)...


    er-- nevermind.


    I hardly think that public school is a proper setting for a discussion of hallucinogens. {ahem}

    Come to that, extreme pain (as in childbirth) can induce them, too.
