As kids, we were all left in a stupor when we witnessed a magician or a performer showcasing a series of flawless and impossible tricks. We called it magic! It was astonishing, riveting and exhilarating, how could one bring about a bird out of thin air or escape from an improbable situation without hurt? Leaving us confused, not knowing the trick was: beautiful, it brought about an aspect of the sacred and the unknown which was vast and downright blasphemous at times for our little brains. However, as life moves on and we grow up, the charm of magic slowly fades away into oblivion. Reason, logic and its counterparts govern our thinking and believing in the impossible is only for day dreamers with a lackadaisical attitude engaged in irresponsible behavior. Magic is forgotten. Causes and Effect dominate, the scientific temperament developed through education motivates us to not believe in magic and see it as only a trick!
Magic! at first glance is the inexplicable conversion of energy which seems to be an illusion or plain legerdemain. However, the quest to go beyond limitations of all kinds to bring about a result that one earnestly yearns for is not a trick but an awareness of intricacies that only a few are capable to reproduce. Magic and Miracles are not very far from each other, miracles are unexpected and a chance product whereas magic is forceful and expected! Of course, to the one partaking and involved in the quest and not the average gongoozler. Magic as we see on television channels, YouTube and Movies is also brought out from the same idea! These serious magicians are admirable as it's always about getting better at something that unperceivable for others. To even come up with new and exciting magic tricks is also an example of the human need to 'push' further and with such a force as to leave a mark of some kind. Getting better than yesterday is what we strive for and magic is bringing about that process in reality through steps.
Magic is everywhere! Until we figure out everything and even then it will remain so. The world feels like a magical place in the first place! How do I even comprehend death and after life when the very life in which we live is an adventure that is unexplored. Magic is going beyond what's been said or written and then digging deep to use that knowledge, creating a wonder that arouses the mystique in those who come across it. Magic is contagious! Love is Magic until we experience and see for ourselves for what makes love, love! There is so much to explore and much to do, or much not to do. Only a child like wonder at the working of life will help us peel and face some of it's truths which help us to progress. What you become will be a mystery to others.
