We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already; we have the power to imagine better.
- J. K. Rowling (http://harvardmagazine.com/go/jkrowling.html – quoted in Harry Potter and Imagination: The Way Between Worlds by Travis Prinzi, p. iv.)

Mark Traphagen (aka Foolish Sage) is a lover of dark beers and darker music, of things that are but are not as they seem, of contexts taken out of context to become new contexts, of stories that point to a bigger Story. Mark lives in Durham, NC, with his wife and pet Macbook Pro. He has two married daughters and six grandchildren, and works by day for Virante, an Internet Marketing firm.Proudly Powered by WordPress | Theme by The Cloisters | Entries RSS Comments RSS
In the context of her speech, this is directly related to a quote from Plutarch: “What we achieve inwardly will change outward reality”. An exception and inspiring speech–may those who listened have ears to hear. Thaks so much for posting the link.
As I noted above, I picked up the quote and link to the speech from Travis Prinzi's book. I haven't yet read or listened to the whole speech, but I definitely will.
I'm excited to be getting into Prinzi's book. He's been an Internet friend for several years now, so I know he has done his homework and has a lot of good insights. The book was published by a small, independent press, and unfortunately is marred slightly by poor editing and typesetting, but the content is well worth getting past those flaws.
By the way, Prinzi uses the very same Plutarch quote in his book's introduction, Fred!
