If you are familiar with MELT foot and hand treatment, you know the MELT Method uses a set of rubber balls varying in size and firmness. The balls come with an instruction sheet that describes position-point pressing, shearing, gliding, and rinsing.
Standing with a large squishy ball at the center of my right foot, I leaned on the bathroom sink. The sink cabinet was on cork floating flooring flush to bathtub (say that fast!); both were across from a small bookcase nestled up to a brand new Kohler toilet.
What distracted me? It could have been the dryer buzzing or my mind remembering to take something out of the freezer for dinner.
But there was a distraction. The next time I glanced down, the squishy ball had disappeared!
I mean it was NO where to be seen. I got down on my hands and knees. This was a small space so there weren't that many places to look. I put my glasses on. I stood up and looked some more. It was not there.
Harry Potter's world came to mind. In his world, things actually do disappear. Living with a scientist, I was pretty certain that magic of that sort doesn't happen. Does it?
This mystery was indeed tantalizing. It was a truly mysterious happening that made me pay attention and be in the moment.
Preparing to leave the bathroom and ponder the mystery, I turned left around a short wall that was on the other side of the Kohler. It was a sharp turn. No where near the ball.
Then my eyes lit on the ball! It was crouched against the baseboard, almost in the bedroom. There seemed no way this soft squishy ball could have ended up there.
There was disappointment - the ball hadn't really dematerialized.
But on the other hand, there was comfort in knowing that gravity is something we can really count on!
Maybe we will explore magic in future posts as there are other kinds of magic beside making things dematerialize. The magic of a smile for instance.
I would love to hear what you think about magic. Thanks for reading and letting me know. Reply to this email or click on the following words: www.nickymendenhall.blogspot.com

The image was received when studying wabi sabi. Somehow it seemed to fit with this post. What do you think?
