By Connie Barrett and Deborah Bier
 It started out innocently enough, though the specifics are somewhat dim
now. That was it -- a light bulb had gone out. Since Deborah is a classic
Cerato, she had to consult all the experts on the best way to change it.
Connie, who can never stand to be in the dark for as long as one
nanosecond, nearly blew a fuse in her Impatiens. Stumbling through the shadowy room to find the
box of light bulbs, she tripped over Dear Tabby, who started howling. Is
it our fault we humans don't see in the dark?
Tabby started Beeching about the inept job we were doing. "The world is
waiting to be saved by essences, and it's your job to turn on the
metaphysical lights instead of messing around with the hiss-growl light
bulbs," she said. "How many essence practitioners does it take to
change a light bulb, anyway?"
We paused, electrified. What an illuminating question. One of us turned
to the other and repeated it.
"How many essence practitioners does it take to change a light bulb?"
The other, pondering a moment before speaking, replied:
"Just one... but the lightbulb really has to WANT to change."
With that, we knew we had in our hands a tool for really serious students of the Bach Flower Remedies. Can you think of more examples in addition to these below?
 Q: How many Rock Waters does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Just one, but the lightbulb is changed on a schedule, not as needed.
Q: How many Vines does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Vines don't change lightbulbs -- they delegate the task.
Q: How many Water Violets does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One, and she doesn't need your help.
Q: How many Chicorys does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: None, because her children owe it to her to change her lightbulbs.
Q: How many Vervains does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Just one, and they use an ecologically
sound type, which, if you don't use, you'll be contributing to the
destruction of the ozone layer.
Q: How many Mustards does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: One, but it can't be working, because it still seems awfully dark.
Q: How many Red Chestnuts does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Just one, but she's concerned the whole time that all the other lightbulbs might not be ok.
Q: How many Larches does it take to change a light bulb?
A: "I can't change that lightbulb; I'm so clumsy I'm sure to drop it, and I might
electrocute myself or blow all the fuses or..."
Q: How many Chestnut Buds does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Just one, but she changes the same lightbulb over and over and over again.
Q: How many Honeysuckles does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one, but the whole time she's changing it, she'll reminisce about the
good old days of whale oil lamps.
 Q: How many Clematises does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one, but it might take a long time before she realizes the light is out.
Q: How many Gorses does it take to change a light bulb?
A: All the Gorses in the world working together could not change even one little
lightbulb, so why bother trying?
Q: How many Gentians does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None -- they just sit in the dark.
Q: How many Elms does it take to change a light bulb?
A: "All I have to do already, and now you want me to change a LIGHTBULB, too?!"
Q: How many Heathers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None -- Heathers already think they're the brightest light in the
room so they don't notice the bulb is out.
