Magic
Suspended reality?
Illusion?
Engagement?
Experiential?
These last three days have been magic, literally and figuratively.
We got outta the house clean and up 83 thru Harrisburg PA past the iconic York barbell man.
Destination: Corning, NY.
After a quick stop for lunch, the magic of glass was upon us. We missed our glass blowing appointment, but Link Link was still able to get creative and make a glass wind chime which will be sent to us in the mail. It needed to cure in the kiln for a few days.
While institutional, the Corning Museum of Glass was magic.
Morning Star RV Park. Our first sleep.
Magic in its simplest form. This camp ground offered up its nature and its all we needed.
Had a baseball catch w the boyz, Momma made supper and we hung by the fire pit until it was time to turn in.
As magic would have it, this camp ground backed up to a train track, the site of our morning hike - magic in its best engineering form. Rail is no joke and probably underrated in its history and utility.
We left Morning Star headed to Niagra Falls.
Mommy was magical in her programming, keeping us on track yet leaving room for spontaneity like making a stop in Warsaw, NY, an American town lost in time. After lunch at Silver Lake Family Restaurant, we chugged along to our planned destination:
Eternal Flame Trail.
Magic. This 1-mile hike, which coincided w a mini-monsoon, led us through mudslides and switch-backs to arrive at literally an eternal flame - a natural gas emitted from earth that stays eternally lit inside a grotto.
Hard to describe. Magic usually is.
Soaking wet, we’ll be at the magic of Target later today to replace our shoes and get proper clothes for this weather for which we were ill prepared.
It didn’t stop us from crossing the border into Canada to see a wild magic show at the Greg Frewin theater featuring Greg Frewin. So much admiration for this guy. He turned women into real-life tigers, made people disappear, smushed his body into just his head and feet and all kinds of other crazy magic. Google him.
Capped this Friday night w the magic of Niagara Falls, Canada-side style, a ferocious series of water falls, seen best from the magic of a Ferris Wheel.
Enjoy the holidays.
Enjoy the magic of life.
