I'm aware of the mystery around us, so I write about

Isabel Allende, the esteemed storyteller, speaks of the mystery that envelops us, and with this, she invites us into a world rich with coincidences, premonitions, emotions, dreams, and the very forces of nature and magic. In her words lies a deep recognition of the unseen forces that weave through the fabric of life. She calls our attention to the inexplicable events and strange alignments that often seem to guide our paths, urging us to open our hearts to the mysterious and embrace the unknown as a powerful and vital part of our existence. What is mystery, after all, but the hidden depths of the world, the secrets that are too vast for our minds to fully comprehend, yet too compelling to ignore?

In the ancient times, the wise sages spoke of the forces of nature—the sun, the wind, the moon, and the stars—as potent agents of change, guiding the lives of men and women in ways both subtle and profound. These natural forces, they believed, were linked to the unseen powers that shape our destinies. The idea that our lives are governed not just by the known, but by forces beyond our understanding, was not only accepted but celebrated. And so, in Allende's writing, we hear echoes of this ancient wisdom, where coincidences are not mere accidents, but signs pointing us in a direction that transcends reason and logic.

Consider the tale of Julius Caesar, whose fate was sealed by a mysterious premonition. On the eve of his assassination, a soothsayer warned him, "Beware the Ides of March." Though he brushed aside the warning, the prophecy unfolded in its chilling detail. This was not mere chance, but a glimpse into the forces that lay beyond mortal comprehension. In this light, coincidences and dreams are not random occurrences, but glimpses into a greater reality, a divine thread that connects us all, leading us toward our destinies, whether we recognize it or not.

Allende's writing, infused with magic and mysticism, reflects a deep understanding that the human experience is not only shaped by physical actions but also by the emotions and unseen forces that move within and around us. She writes about the mystical, for she understands that emotion, that intangible energy that flows through our hearts, is just as real as the air we breathe or the earth beneath our feet. Our dreams, our intuition, our feelings—these are the instruments by which we navigate the unknown. And as the ancient mystics knew, when we attune ourselves to these forces, we begin to see the magic that pulses beneath the surface of everyday life.

It is in magic, whether it is in the turning of the seasons or in the quiet stillness before a storm, that we find our deepest truths. Nature itself is a magician, performing its eternal dance of birth, death, and rebirth. The way the moon governs the tides, or the way the first snowdrop of spring emerges from the frozen earth, is a kind of magic that the ancients revered and the modern world often overlooks. Allende urges us to return to this magic, to feel the power of the earth beneath our feet, to recognize the mysteries in the rhythms of our own hearts.

Thus, Allende's words are not merely a call to write about mystery, but an invitation to live in harmony with it, to open ourselves to the possibility that there is more at work in our lives than we can ever fully understand. She reminds us that coincidences are not meaningless, that dreams are not mere flights of fancy, and that emotions are not weaknesses but strengths that connect us to the universe itself. The mystery around us is not something to fear, but something to embrace, to honor and to learn from.

In this, there is a lesson for us all: to stop and listen to the whispers of the world, to pay attention to the signs that unfold before us, and to trust the magic that resides not just in the world around us, but in our own hearts. Let us not shy away from the mysteries of life but lean into them, with open minds and hearts. For in embracing the unknown, we come to know ourselves better, and in that knowledge, we find the true power of nature, emotion, and dreams. The world is not just a place of logic and reason; it is also a place of magic, mystery, and unspoken truths. May we have the courage to seek these out, and in doing so, to unlock the deepest mysteries of our own existence.
