I'm very aware of such magic. I just wish I had someone to talk to while exploring it.
I used to go on 3am walks, through my neighborhood mostly, there's a park nearby with a big path along it's outskirts that follows to another park, about 85% of the path is covered in total darkness. I used to be afraid of the dark, until one night I felt this urge to just go walking. Then the next night, then the next. I began exploring. I discovered so much around my neighborhood, met so many cats, found so much food in the form of fruit trees and prickly pears.
Then finally I took a walk down the dark path and I was scared, but I kept telling myself I'll be okay. I'm safe, no one would even be able to see me nevermind attack me.
After a while it was just another path, lit or not, i knew it now, i saw the light and love and magic in that dark sidewalk, saw how trees grow towards each other or the next nearest tall object. Saw how stars don't just twinkle but sometimes look like a light show. One night I was looking at Sirius, I swear I ran home, grabbed binoculars, ran back to the park bench I was at and just stared at it, it was flashing red and blue, it looked extremely active like there was traffic flow or something. Then another night while walking I saw a light in the sky, it shone rather bright for a star or plane, and when I looked at it, it shrunk and vanished in place. I stared for 10 or so minutes waiting for something to reappear. I still don't know what I saw but I was blessed enough to see it at all.
I got robbed while working at a gas station, by knife, I recall telling the man to have a good one as he walked out. I wasn't as calm but I wasn't terrified, more disbelieving that someone would rob an employee at knife point for cigarettes and nothing else.
It angered me afterwards but now I'm just glad I still managed to tell that jerk to have a good day. Twas the very least I could do.
What is with people robbing other people?? Go rob a place with money, they don't care nearly half as much, they even have a budget for loss from theft. People don't.
What a weird world.
