We have the street magician who are smart, the professional ones who are involved and then the real ones for whom magic is life. They fall in the good and the bad category - both.White Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856784248719711506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751821.post-1158718172327293702006-09-19T19:09:00.000-07:002006-09-19T19:09:00.000-07:00Have you read "Jonathan Strange and Dr. Norrell" b...Have you read "Jonathan Strange and Dr. Norrell" by Susannah Clarke?Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13892964135889989419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751821.post-1158710639117501572006-09-19T17:03:00.000-07:002006-09-19T17:03:00.000-07:00I beleve....yeah I beleve in magic, of the first k...I beleve....<BR/>yeah I beleve in magic, of the first kiss, first look, infatuation and the magic of the first love.

In the small moments or the big epic occasions that mark our life in this world.<BR/>Truly connecting at a soul deep level is truly magical. <BR/>Some call it divine, others brain chemicals. It doesn't really matter to me what the explanation is. <BR/>All I know is that I believe in some things I can see and many, many things that I will NEVER see or understand.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09995636108623685490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6751821.post-1158575481898609312006-09-18T03:31:00.000-07:002006-09-18T03:31:00.000-07:00I believe in the small of a woman's back.

Good scotch. <BR/><BR/>I believe in rock and roll, that music can save your mortal soul.<BR/><BR/>I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.<BR/><BR/>I believe, yes I believe it would be translated as, "ch-choo-chee-cho-choo."<BR/><BR/>Personally, I believe there's a lot more going on than meets the eye. That being said, I do not believe in organized religion. Does that help at all?twobuyfourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195751674340015830noreply@blogger.com
