QUOTE : Life is magic.<br />I knew, without having to ask, what she meant. Life was not the magic of spells or enchantments or sorcery; or, it was, but that was not the point. Life created magic as an accidental by-product, it wasn't, definite article, absolute statement, A=B, magic. Life was magic in a more mundane sense of the word; the act of living being magic all of its own.<br />This was something we instinctively understood - it simply hadn't occurred to us that it might need explaining.
