RECIPE FOR MAGIC?

Maybe this isn't how it happens, maybe it's fairies or angels or God
But somehow there's magic or miracles
Things happen that we never expected 
After years of trying so hard and failing
after searching the globe and then deep in our heart
After losing so many people and gaining so much weight
somehow, one day there is magic
out of nowhere they say
what you've been longing to hear
or the light bulb goes on over your head 
and you know how to solve it
or you suddenly know
this is the one....it just seems like magic. 
Where does it come from?
Here is my idea...

Recipe for Magic

a cup of luck
a chance meeting
two or more opportunities failed
dozens of humbling experiences
two or three great and supportive friends
deep grief that's grown into compassion and gratitude
patience to taste
a longing desire 
mix it all together 
and then let the whole dream go
and walk on into the magic

How do you think it happens?
