magic!

I am opposed to magic on the one hand, but on the other, I believe it with all my heart. As far as the opposition goes, I not believe it against the laws of the universe for power to come from nowhere. I also believe we do not receive anything to merely satisfy our whims. The magic lamp and the three wishes simply do not happen.
On the other hand, I see magic in all the world around me. When I see a mother practicing infinite patience with her whining or otherwise obstinate child, when I see people practice unsolicited kindness, when I see the love of God resting in people's eyes and countenances, I see pure magic. When I see a light bulb blossom into brightness instantaneously, when I see my thoughts appear before me magically as I work my fingers on this keyboard, when I hear the sound of loved ones hundreds of miles away, I know once again that there is magic in the world.
But I don't need to go that far even. When you see these (at one time) arbitrary symbols in front of your eyes, whether on paper or on screen, and without even considering, interpret from them the very meaning I am trying to portray, even though I wrote many hundreds of miles or years separate from you, is that not the most marvelous magic of all?
