More than meets the eye

I read a news story this morning about the bird flu and thought about how many Americans would debunk this as crazy. I also thought about how real magic is to people in other parts of the world. People live their lives based on a balance of power and fear, and whatever shows the most power at the moment is where people turn. There is no standing on principle, because the whims of the spirit world place the final verdict on the lives of the people they rule.
That is why I go. It doesn't have to be that way.
