magic appears



i mentioned to my hiking companions that there are chamois (a.k.a. gemsen) in this area, and then they were there-- we saw them just a minute or two after we referred to them! . a few minutes later one of my buddies mentioned birds, and then several crows swooped down on us.... a bit later we were talking about the lack of butterflies, and then we noticed a pair of them.... so i chanted "world peace... happiness for all sentient beings... world peace... happiness for all sentient beings..."

Magnificent! From this map they appear to be a very local population.

And then they say post hoc ergo propter hoc is a fallacy.... :-)

@giri: this is the essence of magic.... "i did X, and Y followed... therefore if i do X again, Y is sure to follow.."
the problem is to convince billions of others to invoke peace... *I* felt peaceful after chanting for peace...
