names are so powerful.  i struggle with my own sometime, since so many people have a problem saying it, but have you ever noticed how most people's name seem to fit them just so?  it's like your friend Tom just couldn't possibly be a John or John a Tom or back to vice versa.  imagine your friend Abhicandra as a Louis or Melania as Jane or Mary Beth as Lahnny?  not right, right?

there are some names that are truly magic to me.  magic.  i see the name, be it in my mind, or flashing across the screen of my phone to alert me to a message gloriously sent to me by the person of the name in question, or randomly on some sign, street name or billboard, or maybe i run into someone else who i barely know but who has the same name, and a ZING truly shoots straight through my heart and somewhere out into the universe to Them, to that real piece of magic.  magic.  it's like all those simple consonants and vowels all come together into a visual fairydust cupcake that bears all the fruits of what you LOVE and LOATHE most in a mere mortal, all in one or two or three consonants.  that's-what-life-is-all-a-bout.  there's seven, and they seem to make perfect sense.

there is magic all around you, if i do say so myself.
