The magical, supernatural force that is with us every second is time. We can't even comprehend it. It's such an illusion, it's such a strange thing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The supernatural is the natural not yet understood.
Time is still the great mystery to us. It is no more than a concept; we don't know if it even exists.
I've always been intrigued by the supernatural.
I think the supernatural is a catch-all for everything we don't understand about the vast other parts of life that we cannot perceive.
Life holds one great but quite commonplace mystery. Though shared by each of us and known to all, seldom rates a second thought. That mystery, which most of us take for granted and never think twice about, is time.
Surely it is a magical thing for a handful of words, artfully arranged, to stop time. To conjure a place, a person, a situation, in all its specificity and dimensions. To affect us and alter us, as profoundly as real people and things do.
If time is not real, then the dividing line between this world and eternity, between suffering and bliss, between good and evil, is also an illusion.
In its entirety, probably, it follows us at every instant; all that we have felt, thought and willed from our earliest infancy is there, leaning over the present which is about to join it, pressing against the portals of consciousness that would fain leave it outside.
I love the idea that magic and witchcraft and battles between supernatural creatures could be raging all around us but just out of our sight.
It may be that our cosmic curiosity... is a genetically-encoded force that we illuminate when we look up and wonder.
