Listening to Leeper talk about the love that Creator has for Creation today made me think of this video I stumbled across maybe a year ago. It is by WhiteStone, which is a company that has produced several extremely impressive short films, including The Candy Shop, and Heartless. I think one of my favorites by them is called That's Magic.

The story of That's Magic is basically about a creator that has lost all love and joy for what he creates. His loss of love for his art has made him bitter and apathetic, uninterested in anything around him. Little does he realize that there is in fact, magic all around him. Magic that goes beyond his craft.
As C.S.Lewis would have said, a "deep magic" that runs through human kind that goes beyond what we know and can comprehend.
I just thought it was interesting to see, because there is a magic to someone that has this deep love for their craft and their character. Not only that, but there is something magical about human kind creating. We were created to create. I feel like this film really resonates within us, because it looks at the heart of why we do what we do, and it says there is something more to it. Our deep need and desire to create comes from the knowledge that we also were created.
