This weekend, I dare you to believe something radical:
Every day, the world tosses magic at your feet.
And I could try to write a long treatise to convince you that’s true… Or I could just show you this series of photos, which are literally just shots of chipped concrete and a few stray weeds at the sidewalk’s edge…
Proof that the magic is wherever you choose to see it, if you look with loving eyes:
Hope you go out and find a little ordinary magic of your own today… It’s a pretty special world we’re living in. ā¤

“Abner, she’s out there again.”
“Who?”
“That woman with the camera.”
“So.”
“She’s taking pictures of the sidewalk.”
“Leave her alone, Gladys.”
“I don’t get it? Why the sidewalk?”
“Maybe she’s an artist.”
“She could be a hippie.”
“I like her. She’s friendly.”
“Why would an artist take pictures of an old gray sidewalk?”
“It’s magic, Gladys. Magic.”

Isn’t that the truth? Sometimes, what we see is what we *choose* to see, and that’s a reflection of both who we are and who we want to be.
Grateful for your lovely voice here. Have a beautiful weekend! š
