"The inertia of objects is deceptive. The inanimate world appears static,
“dead” to humans only because of our neuro-muscular chauvinism … Look
deeper. You’ll need a magnifying glass … On the atomic and sub-atomic
levels, weird electrical forces are crackling and flaring, and amorphous
particles are spinning simultaneously forward and backward, sideways
and forever at speeds so incalculable that expressions such as
“arrival,” “departure,” and “have a nice day” become meaningless. It is
on these levels that “magic” occurs."
from his novel "Skinny Legs and All"
