It is easy to understand the appeal of fantasy literature.
Magical words, hidden kingdoms, supernatural creatures, are interesting and
exciting. As a fan of Harry Potter, and much more so, of Middle Earth, I have
no difficulty in seeing why so many people find fantasy worlds so
attractive,....but....
I took a walk in the woods today and I came upon a stretch
of forest, not magic, but magical.
Trees twenty times a tall man’s height, each tree a forest of soaring limbs in
it’s own right, crowned by a sea of leaves, translucent green, bright yellow,
shining gold, and brilliant scarlet, all against a perfect blue sky, waving
wildly, yet gracefully in the full strength of the wind from which they
sheltered the forest floor.
The real world is magic enough. All you need do is take the time to see it. Go..... go and
find the magic.
