Magic is all around us. Too often we are living in our heads, locked in circular arguments, planning the future, thinking of the past, wondering what’s for dinner. So closed off that we can’t see what’s in front of us. Beauty and magic…that’s what’s there, if we but open our eyes.
I came out of a restaurant, a few years ago, and when I went to get my car, there was a full gown doe standing there. She was magnificent. We stood and looked at each other, for at least five minutes. She was so beautiful and sweet. She was calm and had been nibbling at the grass by the edge of the woods. I kept thinking things to her…I love you. You are beautiful. Thank you for letting me see you. I’ll never forget you…not ever. She stared at me and I kept thinking at her. I felt a sense of peace that was so yummy. We just kept staring at each other. No one came into the parking lot the entire time. We were completely alone. No sounds, just the two of us in a moment out of time. Eventually she nodded at me, turned and slowly walked back into the woods. I think of her all the time. I remember every single detail because it was magic and I walked right into it…we were two beings saying hello. It was a hyper state, where time seemed to slow down and nothing else was happening. I watched until she was gone. I stood there for awhile, just coming down, as things returned to normal. Life can be incredible. For a Chicago girl, seeing a wild deer close up and spending time together, is quite out of the ordinary.
