Sleight of hand
Do you like magic? Me do. In fact me be a very amature prestidigitator who likes to play with objects and watch peoples eyes bug out.
Me is not in the saame league as any professional that you might have seen on TV or live on stage, but Me can hold me own at a bar or an informal gathering.
Me especially likes doing stuff for children. They laugh at me silly jokes and never ever question the trick. Of course they ask me do do things over and over again, but they are so entertained by what's happening and so enthralled by the circumstances that they never stop to figure out what is happening. It be enjoyment in it's purest form.
Why isn't life more like that? Do we always have to know about everything that graces our lives? Me prefers to enjoy the sunset. me don't want to know too much about how many angstrom units of energy it be producing or discover the exact distance it is from me by measuring its doppleganger ratio.
The colors are pretty. Learning about optics might give me a deeper knowlege about the way light passes through the atmosphere and alters me preception of its beautiful array, but Me just wants to sit on a bench and smoke a cigarette and think about me day.
Me no Sherlock Holmes.

Very taoist SM. Always see the world through the eyes of a child. It breaks down to some people can love something as is while others need to understand how it works to enjoy it. I am somewhere between the two so I understand both sides. I love music for example yet am amazed still how a radio works. It is still part magic to me, but I also understand the science behind it and enjoy that as well.
In some ways your desire to not know how something works is just like a person who wants to know. Me? If I know how something works then I enjoy the process as well as the outcome.
Just my thoughts =D
Life is good when you can see and appreciate the magic all around you without having to stop and analyze the "how" of it. Go have your cigarette, Scary, and just enjoy BEING.
STOMP.
SJ~ Life just seems better when we stop thinking and doing so much and stop to smell the proverbial um, uh, right. You know what Me means?
