Some magic’s real. — The Sixth Sense

Our world’s magic isn’t Merlin, but it’s there, and it’s important.  It’s the everyday things that remind us just how remarkable the world is.

Magic is a hard thing to explain.  I don’t mean illusions or slight of hand; I mean the real magic you find in the world.  The magic I see in a mother’s face the first time her baby looks at her, or the magic a boy feels the first time a pretty girl smiles at him.  The magic you feel the first time a fish grabs your lure, or when a deer walks into a clearing in front of you.  The magic of a hard job done well, or a bad problem made better.  The magic in the smile of a new shooter is remarked upon by many people I know.

Slow down, look around, and the world will show its magic to you.  You just have to pay attention to see it.
