The world seems to be getting more and more incomprehensible, and reason alone doesn't seem to help us cope. Perhaps there are other ways to make sense of the mess. Here's a story and a confession.
I so love this post. I grew up in Minnesota and now live in California and explain it suits my spirit more than my home state. I also work more outside the US than in. I understand I think the polarity you were struggling with in your youth (and still) and I applaud your putting it out here - we are here for it! Brava.
Thanks Alis. Of course magic exists. We just need to open our eyes to the rich magical beautiful world around us and inside us and notice how it co-exists with our rational side. Thank you for your lovely brave post.
I am so happy reading this post! Once upon a time, a wise yoga instructor told me, "what you think of as magic, is actually pure math". I think it would be a big loss for this world dismissing things just because one can't see it, measure it. Yet. Quantum physics progresses. I am actually interested in the more "magic" side of the coaching process, the presencing and the cuantum field, and more. Hopefully, one day we could discuss and share 🦋
Thank you for sharing this intimate story, Alis. I'm not a scientist, yet I have hardly any connection with what you call magic. It's been lost somewhere along the way. I envy you for keeping it alive. I would also like to become more open to the world beyond so-called facts. All the best!

Good on you Alis, I'm betting you will be pleasantly surprised how well this slight pivot is received.
I once read something I loved -
That the ultimate purpose of science is to create metaphors.
Surely then even a scientist is permitted to elaborate on those metaphors.
