PAEAN TO MAGIC
PAEAN TO "MAGIC"
Magic need not abide the laws of nature, and frequently defies them.
Human life is magical. All about it is magical from birth through life into death and union with the universe.
Magic answers for me all questions of human provenance, terminus, interregnum; plus Big Bang; origin of all species ; elements; all else.
That there is a universe is similarly magical. My love for God, for life, religion, philosophy, music, writing, geometry, literature, beauty, poetry, humanity, nature, science, artistry, yields my appreciation for magic .
What after all is "idiopathic" or of "no known etiology," in law and medicine, but magic? What are irrational, infinitely non-repeating numbers but magic? What explains the relations Phi and Pi in nature, in mathematics' constants but magic?
What explains my speaking to you silently, or any communication but magic? My belief in magic is belief in God, whence magic and all else rises, abides, falls, returns, to God. Thus however known, named, nomenclated, magic is the holy spirit suffusing existence.
