Hour Two<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Magic<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Did you ever consider<\/p>\n
that everything might be random?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Or that all you see is part<\/p>\n
of a plan?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Or that you are one tiny piece<\/p>\n
of a gargantuan jig-saw puzzle?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Think really hard.<\/p>\n
OK \u2013 answer fast.<\/p>\n
Who are you?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The big question<\/p>\n
(unless you know something I don\u2019t)<\/p>\n
remains unanswered.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Where do you find meaning?<\/p>\n
Who is calling the shots?<\/p>\n
How do you decide anything?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We can look for patterns in nature.<\/p>\n
Maybe that\u2019s a hint.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The strong survive, at least for a while.<\/p>\n
Things change.<\/p>\n
And just one species alters patterns.<\/p>\n
Changes weather \u2013 which changes things.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The big question\u2026<\/p>\n
Is what we do preordained?<\/p>\n
Are we supposed to learn enough<\/p>\n
to recreate the garden and be stewards<\/p>\n
of a new Utopia?<\/p>\n
Are we supposed to figure out in our last<\/p>\n
gasping breath that we did something wrong?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Are we in control?<\/p>\n
Or\u2026is a wizard somewhere<\/p>\n
waving a wand?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And everything we do is dictated\u2026<\/p>\n
in this magical life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
