Being human is a form of magic, I think. These wise and beautiful words from Patricia Wrede‘s Thirteenth Child seem more important today than ever.

“This is the most important lesson you must learn about magic…There are many ways of seeing. Each has an element of truth, but none is the whole truth. If you limit yourselves to one way of seeing, one truth, you will limit your power…To be a good magician, you must see in many ways. You must be flexible. You must be willing to learn from different sources. And you must always remember that the truths you see are incomplete.”
