Five Ways to Help You Pass Safely through a Dark Wood Late at Night

1. Whistle a tune your father whistled when you were a child

2. Cross the first two fingers of your left hand

3. If you lose sight of the moon hold it in the mind's eye

4. Imagine the colours that surround you waiting for the first kiss of morning

5. Keep a Kalashnikov in the glove compartment.
