I do believe in an everyday sort of magic -- the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone.

About This Quote

In the world of magic, there are many things that go on that we cannot explain. The idea behind the quote is that the things of this world are connected in ways we can never fully understand. These unearthly connections are often of an unexplainable nature, leaving us to only wonder of their existence. But it is this simple everyday magic that makes us feel alive and gives us faith that life can still be beautiful even in the worst of times.
