If it's magic......?

I went to church last night and the preacher preached to me. In an aside he talked about self hate versus loving yourself. I wanted to blog about liking myself. Then I was with some people yesterday that can be so unaware of their surroundings and others that I thought about blogging about awareness. Not self-awareness, because most of us have that down pat. But being aware of other’s circumstances, feelings, positions, viewpoints, etc… It pays so much to be attentive to others, even if you don’t act accordingly at least you know and well as one of my favorite cartoons would say “knowing is half the battle.”

But no, my creative flow would not be corralled in that direction. So as I napped and contemplated life my .mp3 library played and wouldn’t you know it Stevie Started talking to me again.

Why won’t Stevie leave me alone? He keeps asking me these dad blasted questions. I can’t answer any of Stevie’s questions, and I know the people that I want to answer them can’t either. And it’s not even Thursday yet.

So….

If it’s magic.
From the double Album Songs in the Key of Life
Stevie Wonder.

If it's magic...

Then why can't it be everlasting
Like the sun that always shines
Like the poets endless rhyme
Like the galaxies in time

If it's pleasing...
Then why can't it be never leaving
Like the day that never fails
Like on seashores there are shells
Like the time that always tells

It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst

So...
If it's special
Then with it why aren't we as careful
As making sure we dress in style
Posing pictures with a smile
Keeping danger from a child

It holds the key to every heart
Throughout the universe
It fills you up without a bite
And quenches every thirst

So...
If it's magic...
Why can't we make it everlasting
Like the lifetime of the sun
It will leave no heart undone
For there's enough for everyone
