I hear them whisper ''here she goes, she's off with the faeries again"

[ozzieowl]

Hullo there all you would be-if you could be faeries, pixies, gnomes, goblins and elves,
that like to stay and play a while in our wonderful fantasy realm, where, just like children,
we don't need any excuses to join in and simply enjoy re-visiting our childhood days.

I understand that it does us a great deal of good to take a break from our on-going
busy lives and set aside a little time to `get in touch with our inner child',
for this is where we are able to access our Alpha mind state again,
just as we used to daily, up 'til we started growing out of it around the age of ten.

My friend Tina Volk has kindly agreed to assist me with content here,
in a very similar way we did in a Discussion called `Our Get-A-Way Gazebo'
that can be found in Mary Snowden's Group called `Spirituality and Consciousness'
here on TBD.

I heartily encourage folk who would like to join in and post their pictures, comments
and/or replies when they are happy to, and above all to have fun and simply ENJOY!

Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
~William Butler Yeats, "The Stolen Child"

This is a work of fiction. All the characters in it, human and otherwise, are imaginary, excepting only certain of the fairy folk, whom it might be unwise to offend by casting doubts on their existence. Or lack thereof. ~Neil Gaiman

Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels. But their magic sparkles in nature. ~Lynn Holland
They are sooo beautiful. thanks Tina.

[Tina]

Well you are welcome, I could stay in here all day OzzieOwl...It is such a beautiful place to be, calming and nice, we should have some fairy music on this page! Maybe I will go get some and bring it back? Any way I wanted to say that I do not think angels or faeries are invisible. I think if you believe in them, you can see them!
Do you think that they are OzzieOwl?

[Tina]

See even the faeries have moments of perplexing thought, they feel and they know joy and sorrow. They make me feel ok with being human!

[Tina]

Then there are those days when one feels so very comfortable with the faeries that they can spend time among them, this is one of those that I say they can take me places that are delightful to go to!

[ozzieowl]

They are just absolutely too beautiful for words Tina,
and this last one makes me wanna grab my favorite book and go find a special place
in our woods or parks somewhere and just simply `be'...

[Tina]

Well the wonderful thing is that when the faeries find us they don't bother us, they just flutter about doing their own little things. But they won't even come if we don't believe so really it sounds like the perfect plan to me! Grab your book and take a walk...Fun, thank you OzzieOwl...

Hi Ozzie, When We were very young girls, (there were five of us girls in all) our mother would tell us stories of the butterfly. She told us that we were as the butterfly and that we would have to struggle and eat our way from our cocoon to know the freedoms of this life. She used it as an example also in "becoming women" as were got a little older. When we were teens and some rebellion showed she would say that it was us needing to struggle to know the beauty of our wings and to break free of the cocoon.

Butterflies are so very meaningful and special to me, Thank you so for these beautiful visions and reality's of our world.

[Tina]

Did you know that if you rub, or sometimes even touch the precious wings of a butterfly it will kill them! One should never try to catch a butterfly with the hands! They are so very fragile and to be a "look see" as I used to explain to our children. A "look see" is something made or created to look at and see with the eyes and never to touch!

[Tina]

When I see my beautiful Grand daughters,(I have six of those) all I can think of is fairy Princess'

they dance about with there sweet girly voices, squealing songs of dancing joys and baby dolls and they skitter about with their delicate little ways. It is a beautiful thing to watch them in their innocence, filled with nothing but careless dreams of spreading sweetness and kisses about the world; it makes me think of fairies..And what a sweet and precious time to come down off "sophistication mountain" and bring ourselves to take a stroll into their all so innocent, beautiful, fairy adventures with them...

The Journey

The journey on a summers day,
took me out of hustle's way.

As I rose my head to my surprise,
the most awesome wonders did arise.

I all the sudden had to begin,
to take the sense of surroundings in.

I saw the colors, oh so bright'
Were sparkling gems in sunshine's light.

I heard the songs of some sweet birds
and then my ears also heard;

the sound of creatures up above
the sound of summers songs of love.

I felt the breezes coming 'round
then the ears heard others sounds,

it was the movement of the leaves,
so soft, so gentle was the breeze.

I strolled along the path between,
the grandest sights I'd ever seen.

The flowers smiled as I passed by
I had to reach to dry my eyes.

Such splendor of these days were mine
as I took it in my senses find,

That I am richer by far for sure,
Than any other Doctors cure.

This is the best that life could be,
to see, hear, touch the likes of thee....

sweet summer.

[ozzieowl]

Blind folk see the fairies.
Oh, better far than we,
Who miss the shining of their wings
Because our eyes are filled with things
We do not wish to see.
~Rose Fyleman

[Tina]

Such sweet, delicate, voices of living nature. If you listen to them with the heart they say the most uplifting things...
