Deuteronomy is a fun word to say. Try slipping it into a cocktail party conversation without anyone noticing. It must also be worth a lot of points in Scrabble.

If this is not the direction you expected, be patient — this is art, after all. It is not told in a linear fashion.

We know Deuteronomy as the final book in the Torah and the fifth book of the Christian Old Testament. Jesus Christ used verses from Deuteronomy to confront the Devil in the New Testament. The word “Deuteronomy” itself is derived from Greek and literally means “Second Law.” Yet the book is not a second law, but rather a reiteration of laws previously given to Moses.

And this historical nuance is embraced by Ashley Collins as an opportunity.

For Collins, Deuteronomy is a reminder that we have an opportunity every single day to re-evaluate our priorities — to determine and rebalance our lives so that we aim for what matters most.

Is it love? Is it family? Is it giving to others? Is it monetary gain? Is it health?

We know there is no constant balance, no single static priority, but rather daily adjustments in pursuit of a meaningful life.

So Deuteronomy is, in a sense, permission — permission to recognize that yesterday’s priorities may have been slightly off, and to change course, even in small ways.

The wings are there for your magical flight. It is you who chooses the direction of the day — the magic of Deuteronomy.
