"You ever put your arms out and spin really, really fast? Well, that's what love is like. It makes your heart race.
It turns the world upside down.
But if you're not careful, if you don't keep your eyes on something still, you can lose your balance.
You can't see what's happening to the people around you.
You can't see you are about to fall."

Practical Magic
Practical Magic is one of my favorite movies, but before that, it was one of my favorite books. The two are very different, stand alone stories. The book is very dark. A magical cautionary tale, mostly about being careful what you wish for, while the movie embraces woman-power, magic, and of course, love. Love of family and life, and the love that celebrates finding someone..."a love, that will make time itself lie down and be still". The movie also has one of the most beautiful pieces of music, ever in film. To me, it is the sound of autumn, and Halloween in particular.
"Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder. Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Add pepper to your mashed potatoes. Plant roses and lavender for luck. Fall in love whenever you can."
