Medium Short: Magical Reality

Is there any another?

Welcome to the latest Medium Short, a weekly accountability practice highlighting what I’m up to along the unmarked trail towards #IndustrialHealing. Reminder: all my Medium articles are linked for free here.

I found out this week that I might be a magical realist. Or rather, I discovered that there is such thing as “magical realism”. I always thought reality was magical, that it is up to us to lean towards the edges and bring the fairy dust closer in.

I am sometimes reminded that this isn’t how everyone else sees the world, that to some people magic is frivolous or even heresy while the real work carries on. But I believe the real work is magic. This past week I toggled between the nuts and bolts of regular reality (that keep getting missed, funnily enough) and hefty doses of the magical kind of reality.

As Deepak Chopra mentioned earlier this week, “Shakti, one might say, is the junction between what is possible and what actually happens.”

This sounds about right.

Regularly Reality / Its Nuts, Bolts
