Magic trick
May you tell me why it is that a magician pulls a rabbit out of a black top hat?
Why had that become such an amusing tradition?
What was he thinking?
What was his reason for this rabbit?
Is it because it is deemed adorable and thus he believes shall appeal to the crowd?
Or was it the only animal in the shop he could get his hands on at the time?
Maybe it was a borrowed neighbour's pet?
Was this new magician a former vet?
That white rabbit, pink-eyed and cute.. where does he go scampering off to off set?
Is it even really a rabbit or an impossibly tiny man in a hand sewn suit?
These questions are all important.
Why are they important?
Because they distract me from other real questions:
Why is it that us humans haven't recognized wholesomely our true purpose?
We have existed for centuries..
yet no firm, world wide acceptance and truth as to why we are here..
But there ARE news and breakthroughs about new technology, warfare gear, entertainment, pleasure, fashion, luxury and outer space.
We seem to know everything else except about ourselves ..
What is our collective purpose?
What is our individual purpose?
Is there is a purpose?
Of course there is.
Where can I find it?
How may I find it?
Honestly... I'll figure it all out...
and when I do.. I will tell you.
In the mean time...I wonder:
Why it is that a magician pulls a rabbit out of a black top hat?
