Laying here after another beautiful day in Florida, I'm in amazement at the quietness of this little town called Winter Haven. Florida is magical in so many ways.
As a magician, I am lucky to meet so many wonderful and beautiful people as I travel around the world. It's funny that there can be so many differences and similarities all at the same time, no matter where I go. I think I'll buy a motorcycle.
New York has been an experience to write about, and shared soon, but I am so glad that that hell is finally over. If the opportunity ever arises, don't pass it, try living in New York once. You will regret it, but your mind will become sharp, and your heart will become bold, especially if you have reached a great place in life already. Things that use to worry you will no longer. People that you thought were friends will surprise you. The morals of your day will be morphed, then you'll rise like a phoenix.
Since being in this sunny and gorgeous state, Florida has relaxed me in my bones, and the atmosphere has warmed my soul. Only Oregon has this place beat, I think, sometimes, but when it comes to the variety of what I like- its all here.
The famous P.T. Barnum coined the deceptive and magical statement: "there's something for everyone.", I just hope everyone finds their something. Everything exists in this universe, and anything can be perfectly on its way to you if you believe it.
Yesterday the fireworks at Walt Disney world seemed to move in slow motion as their beauty blurred through the tears that never fell from my eyes. Full with wonder I thought about never leaving this place again. Melting into my purpose and hoping that more people find theirs too without losing their own souls first.
The cool punching of old type writer keys echoes in my brain as I think of Mr. Thompson again in search of the American dream. I guess this is it, but I'll never really know. Who has the audacity to think that they do, I wonder.
Magic is not something to be taken lightly. It's not just a word, but something sacred to me, like courting and the desire to be good. I was good once and then I stopped caring. That can get you, so stay focused.
This, in all it's entirety still beats what could have been. Like shopping malls could ever bout with the beaches, or put out the sun.
I think I'll take another trip,
continue working after that,
then rid myself of the beast
that rapes my heart: contentment;
then the seas will call me again
so I can go, & experience new land.
The feeling of an awe inspiring scene flooding my vision comes over me when I see into the future of possibilities. Knowing, truly knowing- inside what's good for me and going to get it, that's it, that's what it's all about.
A magical world it can be friends, I hope that you create yours just the way you've always dreamed. When you wake from your slumber, you'll one day see, the beautiful life you've made, you'll smile and remember me.
