A Magical Experience



I was reminiscing today about my trip to the US last year and came across these photos from the Philadelphia Magic Gardens. It was my first week in America, I was by myself and it was the furthest i had ever been away. I was so excited to be in this amazing country and it was a trip that i had been dreaming of my whole life. 

I remember trying to find some exciting things to do in Philadelphia and I came across the Magic Gardens. It was this beautiful man made maze that was completely tiled and painted and any type of creativity that you could think of. And the most beautiful part was that most of what made up this space was what everyone else would call junk! But to the man who created it and definitely to me, It was this spellbinding work of art. I spent 3hrs that day wandering around this small maze and every time i walked through i would that find something completely different caught my eye. I could just sit in this space and think and be so wonderfully inspired. 

It wasn't until my 3rd or 4th trip around the space that i started to notice all the notes and wishes that people had placed in the bottles and glasses and in every nook and cranny. And to me it felt at first a little invasive of me to look and read what these people had written. But the words were so truthful to my life that it seemed to me as though in some crazy way, I was supposed to find them. In turn, I then left my own words of wisdom behind and I wonder how many people have seen them and been inspired to do something or even write down their own words. Did my writing become imprinted in their soul as the others did mine or did they echo out of an unwelcoming mind?

Now thinking back on my whole trip, it truly was the most amazing thing I have ever done! I met so many amazing people and have friends all over the world. I cant wait for my next amazing adventure because i can just feel that i am meant to have so many more! 

What was your greatest adventure? Or what is the adventure that you cant wait to take?
