How is it that one individual....one trip..... can be so influencial on another's life? I am usually NOT at a loss for words ever but since being in Vegas, seeing Believe, and meeting Criss I am at a loss on how to describe how my awareness on life has been invigorated. Why, you ask, do I bother trying to explain then? Simple, there are so few people on Earth that have the ability to broaden peoples awareness or to push them to a new spiritual (not religious) level that I feel it NEEDS to be told. So often we are quick to critize people but we never stop to tell them how amazing they are and that they truely are making an impact on this world. My life, with 3 small boys, is busy and there has not been a lot of time for more than what needs to get done. I have always been interested in the magical world. To me this world includes and not limited to nature, true magick, ghosts, astral worlds, illusionist, fate, coincidences, religion... anything of that nature. It's all intertwined... Criss has a remarkable ability, a gift, to bring the wonderment and awe of life back. It's not just his illusions that do this. It's his soul...that glimmer in his eye, the way he shines just a bit brighter than most of us. A person does not have to be perfect to do this, in fact, some of their flaws are what increase this ability. To make people revolt or swoon with magnitude is to move them on a level that may be buried deep. I have never met a person like this until earlier this month and I feel deeply honored to have done so. When I asked him for a picture I thought I would get a no, understandably because it was 1:30 in the morning and he had just finished 2 shows, I got a sure. Not "ok" or a look of ok you caught me so I have to, but a sure. Like he had no problems doing it. I apoligize for the abrupt ending to this blog but...well...ya...I'm still processing LOL!! Haven't had a jolt to the system like this for almost 10 years!!
