"The sun is shining -- the sun is shining. That is the Magic. The flowers are growing -- the roots are stirring. That is the Magic. Being alive is the Magic -- being strong is the Magic. The Magic is in me -- the Magic is in me … It's in everyone of us."
-- Francis Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden, 1911
