Look, I don’t know what’s hidden within you.
I have no way of knowing such a thing.
You yourself may barely know, although I suspect you’ve caught glimpses.
I don’t know your capacities, your aspirations, your longings, your secret talents.
But surely something wonderful is sheltered inside you.
I say this with all confidence, because I happen to believe we are all walking repositories of buried treasure.
I believe this is one of the oldest and most generous tricks the universe plays on us human beings, both for its own amusement and for ours:
The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them
.
The hunt to uncover those jewels - that’s creative living.
The hunt to uncover those jewels - that’s creative living.
The courage to go on that hunt in the first place - that’s what separates a mundane existence from a more enchanted one.
The often surprising results of that hunt - that’s what I call Big Magic.
