A truly wise and magical book. Some of my favorite lines that made me smile:
Wonderful, and real. Wonderful because real.
We are all cousins. Your family tree includes not just obvious cousins like chimpanzees and monkeys but also mice, buffaloes, iguanas, wallabies, snails, dandelions, golden eagles, mushrooms, whales, wombats, and bacteria. All are our cousins. Every last one of them. Isn't that a far more wonderful thought than any other myth? And the most wonderful thing of all is that we know for certain it is literally true.
We have to know what we don't understand, and admit it to ourselves, before we can begin to work on it.
The fact that our eyes can see through only a tiny slit in the middle of the vast spectrum, that we can see only a slender band in the huge range of rays that scientific instruments can see, is a lovely illustration of the power of science to excite our imagination: a lovely example of the magic of the real.
We don't have to invent wildly implausible stories: we have the joy and excitement of real scientific investigation and discovery to keep our imaginations in line. And in the end that is more exciting than fantasy.
"No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavours to establish"

This is a variation of a wonderful picture by ancawonca called, "Magic hour." Please take a look at it. She did a wonderful job, and compares it to an early image of the same location.
While hers is a magical depiction of a pretty and serrendipitous reality, I tried to give the same image a slightly surreal feel. Sort of to give a message that the spiritual, supranatural hides below the surface of our percieved reality.
This is posted with ancawonka's permission, and I thank her for it.
The 5th comment is hers, and has a link to the original. Please pay her a visit!

Disneyland Park welcomes “Magic Happens”, the park’s first new daytime parade in nearly a decade—and an unforgettable spectacle that reminds us wings aren’t needed to fly, shooting stars were created for wishes and magic doesn’t end at midnight!
This statue of Ervin Magic Johnson is located outside the Breslin Center on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mi.
Johnson spent 13 years in the NBA where he won 5 NBA Championships with the Los Angeles Lakers. He still holds the record for most assist per game during a career at just over 11. He was selected as 1 of the top 50 players of all time in 1999 and was selected to the NBA Hall of Fame in 2002. His number 32 is retired by the Los Angeles Lakers, but before this big career in the NBA, Johnson was just as big a star in college.
Johnson, being from Lansing, Mi, choose Michigan State over the University of Michigan, Indiana, and UCLA. His first year as a Michigan State Spartan, Johnson led the team in scoring and to a Big 10 championship victory, a 25-5 record, and a finish in the Elite 8 where the Spartans lost to Kentucky who would win the National Championship. Johnsons sophomore year was even better. Johnson led the team in scoring again and put Michigan State at the top of college basketball by the end of the year. The Spartans would defeat Indiana State, and former NBA Hall of Famer Larry Bird, in the NCAA Championship bringing home Michigan State's first national championship. Johnson was name Final Four MVP and was named an All American. Johnson left after 2 years for the NBA where he would be selected #1 overall by the Los Angeles Lakers.
