The
words
almost
audibly
leave
my
lips
.
It
’s
my
immediate response
whenever
someone
tells
me
that
they
have
a
spreadsheet
or
a
graph
or
any
significant
amount
of
data
on
something
.
There
’s
a
smirk
though
,
with
the
smile
extending
all
the
way
to
the
curious
crinkle
of
my
eyes
.
Because
data
is
fun
and
data
is
beautiful
when
it
’s
mapped
out
.
All
these
moments
in
time
frozen
and
summed
up
as
mere
little
blips.
I
think
it
’s
what
prayer
must
be
like
to
a
deity.
And
somehow
the
reduction
of
these
words
to
mere pinpricks transposes
them
from
the
mundane
to
the
celestial.
I
think
that
’s
what
magic
is
.
We
’re
all
connected
.
