<DIV>Randy, this gives me an excuse to share this poem, from her
book, <STRONG><EM>The Magical Approach</EM></STRONG> by Jane Roberts:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"Magic is public as the air, so obvious and clear that it appears
invisible.</DIV>
<DIV>And we look through it at the world, which rises up about us
everywhere.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When we wake up in the morning, the world is always there waiting.</DIV>
<DIV>We never catch it coming or going, and no smallest part of it disappears
before our eyes, but stays intact.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But all of that implies just too much precision to happen all by itself, a
whole world mysteriously appearing out of nowhere, putting itself together
just right without instructions or previous experience.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Such a masterly production makes me think instead that there are clues
we've overlooked.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We like to think that chance alone collected the pieces of the world,
stitching together the continents, turning the dumb elements into fish and fowl,
and you and me, finally.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of Master Magicians whose conjurings feature the amazing tricks of space
and time, produced so skillfully and fast that we're dazzled with the effects,
and miss the magical slights of hand beneath the flashy gestures of the days and
nights,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Producing from its magical bag of tricks, one marvelous form of life after
another, fish, bird, monkey, man (not just one dove or rabbit) with a skill and
swiftness so astute that our wise men think one turns into the other!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Juggling a million million atoms all at once, spinning them into twirling
cells of men and whales, tricky, spinning solid mountains from thin air, with
fish transformed into flying birds --</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now <EM>that's</EM> a Magic Show!"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(I took liberty with the spacing. The poem has 3 -4 words to a line; takes
up 3 pages in the book.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How many libraries would your map fill, Randy? I wonder.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Blessings,</DIV>
<DIV>Jann McGuire</DIV>

would be interesting if it were possible to map out all the interdependent
pieces and entities within our universe and somehow depict the interactions
and their influence and effects. That would perhaps help answer the
question of who is the "we" that must learn to be
together.</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
