The Magic Spirit By Lev Shtrikman This is a children’s book. It’s a summary. Imagine, as you read, that you’re turning page after page of beautiful, old fashioned illustrations of cute characters frolicking around. I can’t draw, so you have to imagine, with your mind. Not my mind! Removing my mind makes you a murderer. IGNORE THIS PARAGRAPH AND READ!) When you were born, God placed a magic spirit by your little bed. And that spirit heard your first cry and saw your first smile. He was with you at all the important moments in your life. He was there at those small quiet times of eating pizza and watching the television. Likewise he never left you during your big dramatic occasions, the weddings, birthdays, and every time you won a trophy, an award or merely got a “thanks for participating” certificate. He during your first kiss with your first sweetheart and was even present when you two eventually broke up. He has seen you experience all the emotions you have felt, and not just the ones you’ve let other people see. He would never abandon or reject you, so you have no need to feel loneliness like you sometimes do. When you hold your child up for the first time, the spirit following you will be welcoming the new spirit who will follow your child. He’ll catch your child’s first steps if you accidentally turn away and miss them, and all those practice kicks and struts too. The magic spirit is your death and you can never escape him.
