As I drove home this evening, I realized that I live in a magic kingdom.  I was riding faster than an animal can travel in a horseless carriage.  I was listening to music playing without musicians issuing forth from a tiny box on the seat next to me.  Had I desired, I could have listened to other music or voices calling through the air around me.  A road of artificial stone stretched across the land, and my way was lit by steady, flameless lights.  Here in my home, there is a large chest which keeps food cool or even frozen.  A short carriage ride away are many buildings full of food, at which I can exchange modest amounts of money for produce from across the globe.  I make a living selling stories, art and games.  I have all my teeth, have never suffered through a major illness, and none of my friends or family have died of illness or violence.  I share my life with a wonderful woman, who chose me freely as I chose her.  I even have two cats.

Laisser les bon temps roulez.

I have occasionally thought of things like this, but never in such a succinct way. We do live in a magic world, don't we?

To quote Jasper from the Simpsons: 'Moon Pies. What a world.'

I just wrote this to kjpepper (who promptly told me to comment with it here):

"you know...writing is totally magic...it's insane...we make these little symbols that translate into words and meaning...its so crazy!"
