“Every time we make something out of nothing, that’s an act of magic. It doesn’t matter if it’s a painting or a garden, or an abuelo telling his grandchildren some tall tale. Every time we fix something that’s broken…that’s an act of magic.” <\/span><\/h3>\n

~ Charles de Lint<\/em><\/h3>\n

The source of this quote is Canadian Fantasy author Charles de Lint<\/a>, famous for works such as The <\/em>Little\u00a0<\/em>Country<\/em> and The Blue Girl<\/em>, but I came cross it when it was tweeted by another of the Fantasy greats, Terri Windling.<\/p>\n

Terri has a site called Myth and Moor<\/a>, which is a wonderful destination for anyone interested in myth and legend, folklore and fairytales.<\/p>\n

Needless to say, I heart the sentiment. If you do too, then I encourage you to check out Charles and Terri’s sites, and their work further. Meanwhile, I hope there’s more than a little magic in your week. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
