on magic

Unlike common belief, magic is everywhere and available to most everyone. A strong evidence of its presence is the colour “Octarine”. A fluorescent greenish-yellow purple or shining ultrablue colour, depending on who’s seeing it. Imperceptible to the common human eye, octarine is only visible to cats and wizards.

Magic triggers the best [and the worst], of humans. They have different names for it: “inspiration”, “passion”, “epiphany”, “dreams”, “sensitivity”, etc...
There also moments, that could span from some mere seconds to even years, which are full of magic and have the potential to create life changing events or even change mankind. These are usually the motor of human evolution: self discovery, courage, knowledge, art, science, and love.

Even if you’re not a wizard, or someone familiar with the magic arts, magic has its own way to enter your life, to touch it, and to trigger your own journeys. There will be times when you’ll be completely glowing in octarine, and times when you’ll need to summon it yourself. You need to have an open mind and spirit, humbleness, leave all your fears aside and seize the opportunity to go beyond whatever you thought of yourself, and be part of a greater plan. Only then all the magic in you will burst, creating a path for you to follow. Don’t be scared when it happens, just be true to your heart and let the magic lead the way.

A word of warning though: magic feeds on itself, and such as love, if left unattended it fades away or it moves to where it can be more useful. Even in your darkest moments, never let it die completely, or you’ll risk loosing it for good and have a grey and numb life.
Unfortunately, unless you’re a wizard [or a cat], magic doesn’t give you second chances.
