“We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand.
But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow path and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God’s sake.
And you know why we were told that? Because the people doing the telling were afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we knew made them ashamed and sad of what they’d allowed to wither in themselves.”
~ Robert R. McCammon, American Novelist, Boy’s Life (1991)
Here’s to reclaiming the magic …

Hi Jamie, Thanks for visiting my blog. Magic is certainly a wonderful gift that truthfully has been quiet for me recently. Maybe I can dig up my wand. XD

Reblogged this on Sophia's Children and commented:
As we near the gateway to these year-end Holy Days, I’m wishing you a magical and wondrous Winter Solstice, Christmas, and holy days passage, however you celebrate them.
Lots of love,
Jamie
