The Current of Transformation


Artwork by the talented [livejournal.com profile] kesame

To truly be a magician is to have your fingers on the pulse of the universe. To be a magician is to be an arbiter of change, in yourself as well as in others.

To be an animist is to hear, and to recognize, the symphony of life playing all around you. And to realize too--some things have more life than most would realize.

Both magic as well as animism are transformative arts. Life is energy, movement, change, transformation.

I am drunk on life, and it's wondrous symphony.

Wow.

Have you seen the webcomic Gunnerkrigg Court? More of a graphic novel, really; if you haven't seen it you might take a look. I'd link go it and make it easy, but I'm on my phone.

And wow. Those are some really profound thoughts!

Thanks for sharing both of them!

I totally agree. :) This is how I live my life and live in these worlds. Thank you for the reminder, for your awareness of such too and for sharing it. :)

What a beautiful piece of art too.
