The ever-transforming nature of this whole house is magical. You
look around and look at its history.* It has changed and morphed
in the past couple of years like nothing I've ever known.* And
since, in the past seven months since I've been here, it's
changed dramatically around here. There's the back yard,
transformed from shallow lake into a beautiful meadow. And all
of the sudden, this fire pit appears, not once, but twice - it
reappeared when the meadows appeared. And the rolling hill
that appeared with it, as well, was a wonderous thing. And the
garden that sprung up out of the ground, and the pit full of
wood that was magically cleared.* Where did the wood go? And
the woods - that were so thick with bramble and brush, suddenly
were traversable. And the pigs and the pen that fit them.
The chickens and the chicken coop that fit them. And the goat
and the pen that fit him. All appeared out of nothing. And
the glider - there's a glider in the front yard. And the
benches.* We planted a seed, and the benches grew. A road, was
one day transformed from this white sand to this beautiful white
rock.* Boom - there it is, all of the sudden.* It wasn't there
before. And the walls of the kitchen, magically transformed.
Our living room wall - magically transformed. And all of this
new, built-in walls, and built-in shelves magically appeared in
Linda's house. And Danny's room, magically appears, and his
bed, magically appears. My bed, Mom's bed, *poof!* - out of
nothing.* Suddenly, there they are. And this new desk of mine
- poof, it magically appeared out of nothing. All of the
sudden, these things become and integral part of daily life.
It's like there's magic all around.* We just have to accept it.
It's here, and it's a beautiful thing. [The magic is in
the fact that these things all started out as IDEAS..... in the
brain. and then, with the right resources, they became part of
physical reality] -from a typewritten paper.
