Uncomplicated thoughts: Magic

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” Roald Dahl

This quote is from Roald Dahl’s last children’s story, “The Minpins.”  In fact it is the very last line of that very last story.
