I loved reading this. I love being reminded that magic and wonder at living is tied up inextricably with pain, I don't want to skip the joy nor the pain. Surrender is powerful and full of courage.

Alexa, I love how you paint the image of the candle, the flower and vase and the lavender (and I think your photo is great). Those things are magical to me, they evoke peace and surrender and I love them. I agree with you, there are many kinds of magic for many different reasons, none of which are prescriptive or will show up on demand. Magic calls us to surrender.
