It is getting close to midnight and the moon is still up in the night sky, making a silvery haze all over everything. It is such a beautiful color; the night seems to be magical. Maybe it’s magical because it isn’t as bright and clear as the day time. In the day we can see everything and it leaves no question in our minds as to what is there or what is happening. At night we don’t see everything but it still seems to happen and so it is a kind of magic of sorts. The unseen is why magicians get paid to perform, we can’t see what they are doing, but are surprised at what results.

My body is magical too, I don’t know why or how it does some of the things it does. It beats a heart 24/7, it digests food and balances itself without thinking. But it also puts on weight or has acne or something I don’t want. So if it is doing something that I don’t know, how it is doing it, how can I change it? Well maybe we do know some more than we are letting on. Maybe we could fess up to the extra portion of mashed potatoes we ate, or all the chocolate and we didn’t wash our face at bed time because it is so hard because we are tired. Maybe we just need to look a little closer.
