Sometimes we mistake magic for ordinary.
\nAn egg is magic.
\nSo are a seed, a blossom, a child.<\/p>\n
Why is it that the religious fear magic
\nbut believe the unbelievable?<\/p>\n
Science and magic are not mutually exclusive.
\nThat spark of electricity is both
\nreal and magical.
\nSo is the atom you cannot see,
\nonly its manifestations,
\nits aggregates.<\/p>\n
The universe is unexplainable, but
\nscientists keep looking for explanations
\nand finding them.<\/p>\n
Putting magic into a story is one way
\nto get many middle schoolers to read.<\/p>\n
To share magic, read to a child.
\nTo share magic, laugh with a friend.<\/p>\n
Wait! Magic is magic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
