We all start out knowing magic. We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us. We are born able to sing to birds and read the clouds and see our destiny in grains of sand. But then we get the magic educated right out of our souls. We get it churched out, spanked out, washed out, and combed out. We get put on the straight and narrow and told to be responsible. Told to act our age. Told to grow up, for God's sake. And you know why we are told that? Because the people doing the telling are afraid of our wildness and youth, and because the magic we know makes them ashamed and sad of what they have allowed to wither in themselves.

I agree. There has been a beautiful - as you call it magical - side of my life. But there has also been the negative side: grief, depression, and pain. Sometimes it is hard to recall the first, the whimsy. When I create I draw on the magic. But I can't create all the time. As the bipolar will consume me with the memories of hurt.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
