It’s curious how themes appear in our lives. We find a kernel of one and start thinking about it…and before we know it, we begin to find evidence of it in the most unlikely places. So it happened with Mo Khan’s charming vine of a diy magic carpet with power to transport.  (It’s the only really good use we’ve seen for a hoverboard.) It got us thinking about diy magic carpets…

Nor this behooveth me.

There are, that resting, rise.
Can I expound the skies?
How still the riddle lies!
