Though it might be mere coincidence, and many may think I am creating a false story but this is true. For six months, before September 11th, whenever I looked at a clock, randomly, the number 911 would be the time. It would happen perhaps 4 times a week, and after 9/11 it is still an irksome problem. I went for a bicycle ride a few weeks back, and not having looked at how many miles I had gone, when I stopped for water I looked down to see I had traveled 9.11 miles. When I was talking on the phone with my mother the other night, I happened to look up at the VCR clock and it read 9:11 PM, when I asked my mother she had the same time. So the clocks were not off.

Does any of this mean anything but pure coincidence? Possibly. However, in respects of constant observation I do not look at magic as being evil or good. Like the trees, an ocean, a brook, or even human beings, all are made of energy, and energy cannot be destroyed, only redirected. As for levitation I see it merely as a use of surrounding energy, but some see this as sinister, and although they may not fear it, retreat from it. Wicca is neither good nor evil as well, since the only portrayal of good or evil is held in the mindset of men and women. Cats behold enhanced senses we do not, such as sight, hearing, smell, and the talent of knowing when there is something wrong, earhtquakes for example. Do these abilities of theirs, that we do not have, or have not fully built upon, make them right or wrong in the eyes of any particular god that might have created them? Perhaps the only god is the energy that flows throughout the universe, let alone ourselves. The devil, merely the harmful manipulation of this energy by man or beast. Demons exist firstly in our minds, and only after we react to them do they become real. In the end we're food for worms, so as I see it, do not waste your time contemplating the existance of dieties or false gods. Supernatural is only a word, and like words they mean very little when involving the reality of the matter.

Life is to be lived, not overly questioned, and those who spend their time struggling to find all answers where few never need questioning, rarely live. Is there a 'god'? If not to ask of god's existence, is it necessary that one exists?
