There is magic
and there is magick and while this
month’s topic is “Magic”, I want to stray from the general consensus of what
that word means when most people see it regardless of spelling.
The day before I wrote this I spent a magical couple of
hours with my baby great granddaughter. At three and a half months, she is
taking stock of the world around her, smiling, and beginning to “talk”. She has
a delightful laugh. Even though I worked in adoptions for thirty years, I still
see the developmental process from the ‘blobby baby stage’ to adult magical.
Later that same day I happened to look out my kitchen
window at the Armistead salvia along my driveway in time to see a hummingbird
stop by to visit. I find hummingbirds a magical bird and I can’t remember a
time when I’ve seen one in person that I haven’t stopped and smiled.
The day I did write this post, I was thinking of someone
and my phone rang. Yep, it was the person I was thinking about.
When I see my books on e-retailer sites or on the shelves in brick and mortar book stores, that is a magical experience.
I did that! I wrote them and worked to learn the software to get them out to the public.
What’s even more magical is seeing them sell!!!

A friend of mine once asked me how I can live so simply. I was confused but she went on to talk about my commitment to recycling in particular. We talked about how we each see the world. She is a devout Christian who sees God as separate from her but who she has taken into her heart.
I see the Divine in everything and everyone around me. So
I’m aware of my footprint on the earth. I pay attention to the cycle of the
moon and seasons. In comparison to many, I trod heavily. For example I do drive
a car but I do plan my errands so I only go out a couple of times a week.
Because of my interpretation of the word “magic” I
include such things as “synchronicity” and in addition to blogging here, I also
post every Monday on my Judith Ashley blog “Intentions and Synchronicities”.
