I Believe in Magic

I think everyone who writes about magic must somewhere in their secret hearts believe to a certain extent.

The idea behind my story is that magic is real if we just but look for it in our daily lives.

Definition of magic

  1. 1a : the use of means (as charms or spells) believed to have supernatural power over natural forces b: magic rites or incantations
  2. 2a : an extraordinary power or influence seemingly from a supernatural source. Both pitchers, although they are older, haven't lost their magic. b: something that seems to cast a spell : enchantment all the mystery,magic and romance which belong to royalty alone — J. E. P. Grigg
  3. 3: the art of producing illusions by sleight of hand entertained with acts of jugglery and magic

When I think of magic, I think of a flower blooming. To me that is real magic.

The things we don’t understand, say a higher technology than what we understand, are traditionally considered to be magic.

To someone who lived in pre-historic times, fire was magic. Modern medicine is magic.

In my opinion we don’t have to step outside our door to experience magic. Each time we think or breathe it is magic. Each time our imagination has a flight of fancy that is real magic.

The power of love, sunshine, a plant growing from a seed, the feeling from a tree, electricity, running water all these things are magic.

Then there is the things we all consider a little more magic. Like dragons. There are dragons. Little lizards that have wings so they can glide. And little lizards that breathe out clouds of poisonous gas. There are really dragon eggs.
Every culture tells a story of creation. Every culture comes up with an explanation of how things work.

Most cultures have tales of little people, elves, pixies, fairies, etc. Except in America. The Native Americans had stories of little people but the modern transplanted Americans do not.

It seems somehow in coming to America we left our little people behind. The Lenape Indians tell of Little People that were here before they came here. They were the true first Americans.


I believe these first Americans may still be among us.
