believe in magic

magic happens!

i believed in magic as a child (don’t we all!) i was a daydreamy little thing who loved fairytales, and looking into clouds, and making up fairy stories to send myself off to sleep. i guess growing up and being educated in this post-enlightenment, rational, secular british society, i have become quite detached from this earlier thought process. i have been ‘trained’ to put logic and reason first. i think my mind is a mixture of dominant rational thoughts and hidden magical impulses. these shadowy feelings stem from childhood, and seem to whisper that there are many ways of seeing the world, and this is only one of them. certainly reason is important. but the sparkle of imagination is always there, waiting, laughing at the grey outside.
