Magic In Everyday Things

“The world is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper”
W.B. Yeats

The world is filled with magic in everyday things. Turn off the tv and go look for it. Understandably, Monday is a harder day to feel like looking but it’s usually when we don’t feel like it that we need to the most.

This image was made possible by simply wanting to see something special on Saturday. It is from my own backyard.

So, yeah, you can go places and spend lots of money and chase things just beyond your reach. You can also just stand still and look around you.

There is magic in everyday things. Go find it.

Moments Like This

Once in a while, life presents moments so extraordinary they feel magical. I had one of those moments last fall while visiting my friend Nichola in Pittsburgh. It was inside this church, Saint Mary of the Mount, that we encountered a man singing “Danny Boy.” The church was empty save for me, Nichola and the lone singer.

Part of me felt like we were intruding. Part of me wished to pull up a seat and listen longer.  All of me hopes that I never forget this moment as long as I live.
