It's Magic

Here's a well known song showing that part of everyday life can be magic, especially when you are in love.

You sigh, the song begins;
You speak, and I hear violins --
It's magic.
The stars desert the skies,
And rush to nestle in your eyes --
It's magic.
Without a golden wand
Or mystic charms,
Fantastic things begin
When I am in your arms.
When we walk hand-in-hand,
The world becomes a wonderland --
It's magic.
How else can I explain
Those raindrops when there is no rain?
It's magic.
Why do I tell myself
These things that happen are all really true?
When, in my heart, I know the magic is
My love for you.
It's magic...
It's magic...
Why do I tell myself
These things that happen are all really true?
When, in my heart I know, the magic is
My love for you.

Sung by Doris Day - Song Writers:  Sammy Cahn and Jules Styne

Shades of Reincarnation

This beautiful song's lyrics has always intrigued me

VERSE

Sometimes you think you've lived before All that you live today Things you do come back to you As though they knew the way Oh, the tricks your mind can play!

REFRAIN

It seem we stood and talked like this before we looked at each other in the same way then, But I canÍt remenber where or when. The clothes youÍre wearing are the clothes you wore. The smile you are smiling you were smilimg then, But i canÍt remember where or when. Some things that happend for the first time, Seem to be happenig again. Amd so it seems that we have met before and laughted before and loved before, But who knows where or when.

Older, But Wiser

Older, but wiser... Does living longer maker us understand what life is all about now that we are older? In my young adult days I tried to analyze life and came up with some answers, that suited me at the time.  I was eager to learn what I could by daydreaming of a perfect place, with perfect people and a perfect life was far from what I encountered in reality.

Life is tough.  Only the "strong in spirit" can still stand like an older home, being weathered through the years by life's elements, scarred, but victorious in the end.

It is a life of learning and refining us to become sages to what is truly real.  We begin to see what truth is and what  our search has been about. Instead of going against the flow of life, we must join with the flow to be pushed gently along our way. When we realize we are all part of a common thread that carries us to a place of understanding as "older but wiser.
