About this listen

I have come to suspect that life is magical. How else do you explain the language that has grown up about it: serendipity, coincidence, déjà vu, foresight, extrasensory? Those are all descriptions of the supernatural. It’s silly to pretend that magic doesn’t exist, just because we think we are too mature and sophisticated to acknowledge it.

Michael knew that. He lived his life with the certainty that magic surrounded him. For many years, I forgot how to see magic. It disappeared from my experience. I am the poorer for it. But, now that I have finally and fortunately discovered it again, I feel the need to tell you about how at least one man lived in the glow of magic and taught a young boy how to do the same.

Let me tell you the strange story of the wizard in the wood. If you’re lucky, it might change your life.

A story of Wisdom and connection

At 59 years old it reminded me of what’s important and what is easily forgotten amid the mist of doing.
I felt much like the young Arty when I was young. Didn’t feel like school had much to teach but loved a good yarn. Kindness and purpose from a stranger, and the wonder.. so good .. Thanks Jim et al.. Duncan (Cairns, Australia)
