Just moved to Vancouver, British Columbia for a while, and enjoyed watching an urban crow scavenging on the patio of a busy down town eatery. This place, to me, is infused with magic: the old growth urban temperate rain forest called Stanley Park, the large birds of prey patrolling above the down town high rises, the laid back diverse populace.
What makes magic in our lives? Seems to me intact biodiverse wilderness, that is, the undamaged biosphere, is the most potent magic. What do people with abundant wealth often use it to attain. Richard Branson has his island in the Indian Ocean; the queen her estate in the Scottish highlands; Ted Turner his ranch in Montana. They use their wealth to get what early man was immersed in, what would re-establish itself all around us if we reversed our addiction to growth and stopped ' getting and spending for a while.
