"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Moment of Magic

I continue to spend a few minutes every day looking my wabi-sabi amaryllis blooms from every angle. Some of the petals on those first blooms are completely dry...but still very beautiful. 

This 4th bloom on the first stem is just starting to die back. Do you see the little moment of magic? If I hadn't taken the time to look closely....I would have missed it. 

I hope you had a moment of magic today.

  1. WOW! look at that moment of magic! You are SUCH a faithful and accomplished noticer, MaryAnn.

    Here: across 2000 miles, a quiet connection via email with my friend Ann whom I first met 62 years ago in 8th grade homeroom, both of us, it turns out, reading the same book and noticing the same word this week!

    1. Oh my goodness you can't make that stuff up! What a wonderful one word connection with Ann. A moment of magic indeed! Now I want to know what the word was!

    2. That's your word! And it's a great one...and a great practice!

  2. Beautiful! I have one very confused little Rhododendron trying to bloom today along with all the pretty daffodils.

    1. I hope your Rhododendron figures things out. How lucky to be having the magic of blooms! We are still under mountains of snow and it's VERY cold. But there is magic in that too!
