Charmed

Every life is charmed... and you must never forget it. You are magic. You charm the air so that it thickens into your body wherever you are.
...But you have to remember that your life is charmed... But people are also very creative... magic again!... so they make up gods of this and that, and realms and spheres, and maps to chart out in advance where magic might be taking them so they don't get surprised, which is silly because magic goes where it wants to, which is everywhere. And when you try to map it out in advance, you really cut yourself short.
....If you forget what magic is, then you're liable to think that your map is the only real one, and all others are false. You get in a terrible bind, fighting over which way is right, which road or map, while all the time magic is what makes the maps.
Systems of magic are silly, too, and all of them are really based upon doubt. Magic is considered so tenuous that someone has to be at it all the time, making spells, or paying someone else to do it. And the spells have to be done just right, so people concentrate on how to do this spell or another. This gets very complicated... But everything is a spell. Your words and thoughts are spells.
