Elements of Magic: a note to self.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The same full moon seen by one may be non existent to the other who sits inside watching television.
The world and universe are doing magical things all day long. Its just a matter of surrounding yourself in the magic: magical people, magic places, magical scenarios... setting yourself up for magic... creating a fertile ground for magic to happen. Listening to awesome, beautiful music.

Like putting yourself on a Ferris Wheel.

But What is Magic. Webstser Dictionary defines Magic as:

Definition of MAGIC

1

a : the use of means (as charms or spells) believed to have supernatural power over natural forces

b : magic rites or incantations

2

a : an extraordinary power or influence seemingly from a supernatural source

b : something that seems to cast a spell : enchantment

3

: the art of producing illusions by sleight of hand

To me the super natural is the ability to make a choice.

Magic is the act of doing things unseen or unfamiliar, beautiful of mystical.

Setting yourself for magic means to keep practicing and seeking what is good for you and exciting.

To keep putting yourself in magic scenarios, like putting yourself in the ocean.

To keep practicing art. Arranging dots and lines in a magical order to create beauty.

If a thousands of people read my blog everyday, I'm not sure I would be sharing this, but because it is usually my friends and family keeping up to date with my doings, that I feel I can share. Because it seems when the magic is let out of the bag to too many folks, the magic dies.

Because the magic becomes too familiar and is taken for granted.

However, the ocean, no matter how much I enter it, never seems to be filled with magic. Leaving me feeling magical. Where I have nothing to figure out. Succumbing to the fact that no matter what, I will never be able to control the magic of the universe. And that's ok because I've accepted that the universe is magical, and thus life is magical. We just have to put ourselves in the right place in this complex labyrinth of so many things that we have created that can be so confusing. The labyrinth which is so easy to get lost in. We must focus on the magic of nature and keep it alive, because that is all we have. We must preserve the magic.

Life is short. Loved ones pass. We need to be a part of the magic every day if possible.

And cry sometimes because life is good and painful at the same time.

I'll stop here for a while before my tangent veers too far from magic.

Aloha.
