When you do, your life becomes truly magical and there's nothing you can't generate.What are the infinite possibilities?What else is possible?"Magic is all around us, it's something we all generate. What would it take to think differently about the universe, the consciousness and oneness that we all are and the magic that is an intrinsic part of it?"--Gary M.
