Why Have We Forgotten Magic

Civilizations from the dawn of time have believed in magic. Some thought that weather was magical others thought the abilities of some men to move people to action was a form of magic. Modern man, that is the people of today by and large don't believe that there is any magic in this world. Science has explained away so much of what used to hold as magical. There are still magics left in this world. I know that when i say that people will assume that i am a mystic. That is not the case. Unless you allow that the things that are beyond our ability to understand and our ability to control could be called magical. Things that defy the laws of physics. Or rather the author of those laws chooses to suspend them for a moment.

The author of Proverbs talks about the things that are amazing or beyond explanation one of them is the way of a man with a woman. Truly there is magic in this. There is no accounting for tastes or attractions. There is also a magic in the idea and the anticipation of the first kiss. There is magic in the look of a lover. There is magic in the lengths your heart will go to love and care for someone. In this respect there are some that are more magical than others. You have probably known someone like this. Who loved you maybe not romantically but you knew when they were around that they cared. These people are attractive and they make the best leaders.

There is also magic in the acts of God. I do not mean the miraculous though that is undeniably magical. But rather the way he loves his children and moves the world to protect and provide for them.

The thing about magic is it leaves us in awe. And today we are uncomfortable with that idea. It makes us briefly realize that we are not in control and yet we need not fear. or maybe we should. This is the magic that should not be forgotten and should not be lost to us as we turn everything into a science experiment. Don't lose the awe of life and God
