“A good psychic would pick up the phone before it rang.” – Ellen DeGeneres.<\/p>\n

I have always been fascinated with psychic phenomena.  Maybe it’s because reality can be a little boring – day in day out.  I guess that’s why we have to work at making reality magical or surreal. Science and hard core facts need a spoonful of sugar from time to time. <\/p>\n

I remember one day in one of my Theatre Arts classes, which often began with a warm-up circle of one liners.  Basically, we would go around the circle and each of us in turn would “deliver a line.”  It didn’t matter what was said.  It was more a way of moving from the reality of the classroom to the creative world of the imagination.  I will never forget what one young woman said.<\/p>\n

“Gravity is a myth. The Earth sucks.” It was sad and hilarious at the same time. She may have borrowed the line from someone else, I don’t know.  But I have never heard it since and I have never forgotten it.<\/p>\n

Every once in a while we have to do the unexpected.  Experience the opposite of what science tells us is true.  In short – answer the phone before it rings.  Take in that energy that is out there, but can’t be scientifically measured, and use it to create magical experiences.<\/p>\n

Maybe this is why I like photography.  The camera sometimes sees what isn’t there or it elevates what is there. So something this mundane can be immortalized.<\/p>\n

\nHere are some really amazing images<\/a>. It’s shades of the Yellow Brick Road leading us to another world and all of us have ruby slippers to take us home – but only after we have used them to dance!!<\/p>\n

Have a magical day.<\/p>\n
