Description
The poems of Magical Nature suggest that the natural world possesses a magical quality, to which humans respond with awe and wonder. This happens because creatures, flowers, seasons, and other aspects of nature through appearance, activity, unknown aspects or characteristics, and the interaction of natural phenomena often create a magical experience. For example, one may see in the sunlight what otherwise might not be seen. Or one sees at nighttime what is not seen during daylight. Sometimes what may seem magical in nature results from the interaction of both usual and unusual forces and courses of nature. The aurora borealis are an excellent example. These interweaving strands of light result from magnetic storms activated by explosions on the sun, or gas bubbles propelled from the sun. The poems in this book do not equate the wonders of nature with magic as such, rather they reflect on nature’s capacity to evoke awe within us. The magical aspects of nature often influence our moods and mental postures. They can comfort, inspire, expand imagination, and entertain. Hence they are vital to human experience and often enhance the quality of life.
