The more we continued to move forward,
Without any other choice,
The more we moved away from the stories
and the magic that defined our childhood
world.
Everything became conventional, calculated,
Cartesian, logical, concrete, palpable, and
Demonstrable.
Everything had to make sense on paper, with
Boxes that needed to be checked off.
Saint Thomas’s philosophy of believing only
What he could see with his own eyes began to
Take pride of place as we entered adulthood.
The magic was over.
