...not the hocus pocus kind, but the kind that for me is real. It contains mystery and gives one a sense of awe. Like the workings of the human body for example. Can you explain how it works, how it heals, how it grows from conception? Anatomy books and scientists try. But they're describing what they see under a microscope, with their eyes, and that's okay, but they have to admit there's a heck of a lot they can't explain and don't understand. Its often the unseen that provides the magic for me. When a bone is broken or the skin is cut, how does it know to repair that, and when to stop? I know all its processes can ultimately be explained, but so much of it can't be right now. So much is a mystery.
And how come my thoughts and feelings affect my health. How come some people can smoke every day and live to 100, while others develop lung cancer at 55 or 60? How does that work? Where does my mind reside? Is it in my brain, or every cell of my body?
There is so much happening in our world and our individual worlds on levels we cant explain or comprehend or sometimes even see. But its still happening. How does the earth grow trees and vegetables and flowers? How does a tree know it's being shaded by a building or another tree, to kill off that part of itself and grow a new bit of itself in the sun.
(due to a technical misshap, the rest of this post has been lost. Unfortunate, but true....sorry... working on rewriting it. What a drag...)
It's a wonderful to be able to appreciate the world around us as you do and while you are able to do that you will always have happiness.....which is marvelous! I too marvel at nature and how it does it all....it really is as you say, majical. Love it! Nice blog and pics - its good to be reminded of things like this in the midst of bustling old life...thank you! You have reminded me of what I "know" but often forget to pay attention to......
