“We must believe in magic. We must believe in the guiding hand. If you believe in magic, you’ll have the universe at your command.” This beautiful song was featured on Crystal Gayle’s episode of The Muppet Show, Episode 402 in 1979. As a very young child, I fell in love with this scene. Crystal appears as a regal goddess surrounded by spirits, singing these magical lyrics with her stunning voice. But as an older child, it terrified me. As an adult I can look back now and remember that I was born open and connected to the spirit world and the universal energy, and that as I aged it was far too easy to become disconnected (and scared). As an adult I have been reconnecting, and as I find my way back, I am loving this captivating scene all over again. I hope you love it, too. I feel like we are all just lost ships trying to find our way home…and a little guidance from The Universe goes a long way (even if the form it takes is Muppet ghosts!). “Nothing can turn it around.” And so it is. ♥ With love, light, and song… ~Melissa~
