thought, paraphrased from someone's journal.

in science, repeating a phenomenon is good. it's called evidence for proving a theory.
in art, repeating a phenomenon is bad. it's called faking, forgery, or a lack of originality.

great! now all we need to know is whether magic is an art or a science!

I tend to think that magic is that place behind the artificial division of experience into art and science, logic and aestheteic.

Then again, I've been reading Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenence while having metaphysical discussions again.
