Very thought-provoking. The most compelling magic I once believed in was the tooth fairy, and the day I discovered that the magical tooth fairy was a fantasy was so disappointing to me. I think that we need to get to the point that we can, "My life is good," and not need the magic to believe it.

Yes, Jill, it's all about the belief behind the words, isn't it. That's the "magic" :) Thanks for reading and responding.

A lovely tale, thank you.

I don't ever say that the magic was never there, but at times it is more difficult to summon. In those times, I remember and celebrate - and maybe that's a sort of magic, too.

My life is good, the Universe is good, but what about People?!

Thanks Mioara! Well, I guess any mantra can be substituted, including about people. This one's about people expecting empty rituals / words / gestures to do the trick, instead of going deep inside themselves to conjure up the "magic". It's all this mindfulness and self-help being practised superficially, oversimplifying things.
