Science has fascinated me since high school. I vividly remember the first time I encountered the theory that everything we are and see is made up of tiny particles in constant motion, and wondered about the possibility of them “changing reality” in an instant. Also captivating was the notion of mind over matter, that we had some ability to influence what goes on with us physically with our thoughts.
This blog is now part of a new practice called The Superhero's Way, more at the bottom of the page...but we still love MAGIC!
Magic is the everyday realization of those moments of "Oh wow!" we expect from fiction and films, when we see something we wish would be true in our own lives. Magic means we don't have to wish anymore...
You is something you DO, not believe!
Magic is the thing that makes us tingle, lights our fire, or comes to mind like a breath of fresh air. It opens your heart.
What is your favorite thing? How it makes you feel is what magic feels like.
Magic is not waiting for something to happen because you made a wish. It’s more like making the wish and living according to it at the same time. http://beauartsltd.blogspot.com/2016/12/magic-magical-thinking-and-story-about.html
Magic is all around us. We are not accustomed to saying that because we rarely slow down to notice the wonders created by nature, human ingenuity, or both.
Magic is a purposeful exchange of energy, not a power or an accident. We all make magic everyday, the learning is to embrace it!

Thank you, Richard Timperio
from the exhibition of Richard's paintings now at Sideshow, his first show at the Gallery |
Richard had the rare gift of owning a larger than life presence that made others feel greater just by being in that presence. I will never forget the night Mark and I met him at a gathering after admiring his annual “cast of thousands” (as in actually around 500, but enough so there was no room for full first names on the flyer, and they eventually acquired the supertitle “Sideshow Nation”) group show and thinking - how do we get to be a part of this? And of course, when the conversation got around to that, Rich immediately suggested that we bring work for the next one, even though he had no idea in that moment what we were creating. But he did not just know art, he knew people, and could sense that our enthusiasm was about belonging.

The Puzzle Paradigm
Spiritual growth can be the same way. Every practice that clicks for us, every clue from the Universe of its miraculous magnificence we develop the ability to tune into is like that crooked edge fitting into just the right spot. But if you are like me, you did not always let yourself play. “Understanding” and “wisdom” are serious, grownup business. We are filling in a bigger picture, we focus on “finishing” the puzzle and “completing” ourselves.
Only this puzzle did not come in a box. And while each of us sees it differently, an ever expanding circle, or a right side forever ragged with no corners, the one certain thing is that we can’t finish. And no one else ever did either, no matter what they say.
Shed the conditioning that your puzzle will look like somebody else’s that they have already finished so you don’t have to, or, that you are supposed to be working on someone else’s puzzle altogether, and you have taken the step to experiencing the joy of finding again, one piece at a time.
We are the puzzle, the puzzle is us. We are here to grow. And it is in the finding that growth takes place.
Bonus Question: How would it feel if we knew this puzzle was missing just one piece?
