Today I read this little sentence Imagine what you can become. I thought about our human lives in general. Information is squashing us, bombarding us with negative images and stories filled with not enough and fair share and lack of this or that, you get the imagery. Subconsciously we are losing our way but not entirely. I think our true selves are tethering to the possibilities and the yes you can energies that are still out there. They have not disappeared. I know for myself I am tired of living with a lack mentality. So I say imagine what you CAN become and blossom into that. You know it is possible. I know it is possible.
A funny strange thing happened yesterday on my early morning walk with Tucker (my goofy lovable furry companion) as we ventured down the road. We turned onto the dead end street by the house. It is the one street where the houses disappear and I feel I am back walking in the woods alone with my dogs all those years ago. It is comforting and familiar and nature always is active. It is where I saw my lovely blossom. It is also a road where I can connect to Spirit. The energy is calming and I feel peace when I travel down this road.
Now Tucker is not the calmest of dogs and even though I have tried to make him understand it is far better to be nice, he still does not believe me. Up ahead I saw one of the neighborhood dog sniffing and slowly walking back toward his house. Tuck saw him too. As usual he started his anxious barking and pulling at the lead. I know all he wants is say hello but he just goes about it the wrong way. I also know when he gets into this state there is no reasoning with him and all I can do is attempt to use my energy to ease his anxious state of mind. As he is carrying on the dog ahead turns and looks back at Tuck. Probably thinking why so much noise. Then I noticed over on my right a deer (doe) come out from behind a tree and start to walk toward me. She was half way between Tuck/Me and the other dog. There was plenty of room to move in between if that was the intention. But no. This is the strange part, the doe kept walking towards me and our eyes met. I could feel her energy so I introduced myself and Tuck. I know that sounds a little bizarre but I was raised to be polite to all living things. Remember Tuck is still barking, completely fixating on the other dog. When she(the doe) got about 8 feet away Tuck then noticed her and I had to laugh, he did not know who to bark at now and decided to ignore the doe. The same dog while in Vermont ran down deer for fun. By this time I had pulled Tuck up to me and had him gently by the collar. The doe came a bit closer, now I could see her eyelashes and hear her breath, time stopped and I felt connected not just to the doe but to all things around me. Then slowly time started to click back in motion and the doe crossed the road and down into a wooded glen.
For the rest of the day that moment stuck with me. There is a tugging from my soul to listen. I am not sure what the message is yet. When I figure it out I know it will be an awesome answer.
Have you ever experienced in your life a sensation that makes all your hairs stand up as if the air is charged? Thoughts become heightened and your gut or heart center is screaming as loud as it can, listen we have a message for you. Very recently I noticed things around me, little lights, and at night there were bumps and bangs that I could not explain. Nighttime does not spook me so bumps and bangs I usually think is the house settling or an animal outside. But then came four nights ago, I was climbing into bed and very quickly from my left side was a white wisp shaped about the size of a person’s head and as I turned to see what it was it vanished. What I saw was this mist move quickly into nothing as if there was an invisible door and it was going through it. The image was only about two feet away from me so I felt a little unnerved. That night I experienced vivid dreams where I was living among fairies and angelic beings and ancestors I knew but never met. It was a pastoral light filled place and magic very much present. Old magic the kind that comes from nature and energy lay lines. I felt an overwhelming sense of love, creativity and bliss. There was no urgency and there was no real form but I knew what the forms were around me. Then time caught up and my journey ended.
I did not remember right away what had transpired during the nighttime journey because my brain and ego had to digest and filter. I now understand it was an angelic being who came that evening to prepare the way for me to take this needed journey into their realm. I was shown why it is important for me to stay with the path I am on. It is my purpose to create. To look at the world with different eyes then most and to feel what it is I feel. There is a specialness about this higher self being named Laurie. Maybe you can see that and you agree but if you do not I am perfectly content with knowing that also. My creative work is my spiritual self and Spirit working through this earthly body. I am the observer and my work is what I experience as the observer. It is the magical dance between the realms and it is the world I live which is between the weeds, where fairies and angelic beings live.
I had forgotten the joy my work gave me and became overwhelmed with creating to make money. This is not the higher self, your heart center, or your purpose. It is ego. After this journey I have discovered what it was about my work that made it unique to me. My designs are polished upscale and contemporary but have a comfortable feel like a cashmere throw has on a cold blustery night. I also love boxes and small cabinets. My work is moving towards building oodles of cottage farmhouse boxes and cabinets with my garden woodland delicate designs. Even my fairy friend Briar is thrilled because there is nothing that excites the fairies more than flowers. She still wants me to focus on some more fairy houses too.
This is one of the new boxes I have created since the nighttime journey.
It’s easy to believe in magic when you’re young. Anything you couldn’t explain was magic then. It didn’t matter if it was science or a fairy tale. Electricity and elves were both infinitely mysterious and equally possible – elves probably more so. ~Charles de Lint
Fairy Princess Chair
Some would probably say anyone who believes in magic, in fairies or in things that bang for no reason and disappear from your sight only to reappear some time later are completely mad. May be these people are right but I do not think so, do you? My dear mum would say how she wanted to be thought of as being eccentric and during the end of her years living here in this realm I think she got her wish. She in my eyes was fun and open to different ways of thinking. Never thinking her ways as being eccentric but somehow she accomplished just that and I never saw it happening. There was an openness about her spirit and I feel because of that energy she whether aware or not was in contact with other realms and beings. Maybe being an open spirit is being a child full of wonder.
It is a terrible loss to the human population when we disconnect from wonder and magic. The price we all pay becoming an adult and it is a price I am not willing to pay anymore. Fantasy eccentricity imagination are what allow us to fly with fairies angels and spirits. Just because we discover or invent a new thing does it mean it was not there all the time waiting to come into our realm of thought. Another way of thinking about this is electricity, a thing we use everyday, ever not exist? Did Edison create it by discovering electricity? Electricity was always there but before Edison made us aware of its presence it did not exists in our realm of being. Fairies are and always will be there but you have to take the first steps back to when you were a child and see the world around you with wonder. It is something to ponder surely.
My mum and I delighted in the fairies and the stories we would discovered about the different realms. I now have to confess though my mum wanted to be an eccentric, I am one. Like mother, like daughter.
A little food for thought or some facts about fairy food.
Fairy Food: When it comes to fairy food, we read stories to discover that mallow fruits are fairy cheeses, and dogwood fruits are pixie pears. Little cakes are another favorite fairy food, and if they are made with saffron, they are especially cherished since saffron is highly valued by fairies.
For the past week things around the house have been crazy. There are times when energies build up and all of a sudden everything seems to go wrong. But do they go wrong or is our perception gone askew. When it happens all at once you may feel the universe is conspiring against you. Maybe you believe you are experiencing a run of bad luck. In the past I would have agreed until I realized just recently nothing ever happens to you that you can not make into a positive. This is not about faith and religion; it is about knowing. I know there are fairies among us just as there are angels, spirits and guides both animal and ancestral. They assist you when you need help and show you the truth when you ask. It is a subject most people ignore because they are afraid of being labeled crazy or a new age fanatic. So why do I know these things are real. Simply because I have seen them myself. After this past week I now do not question the positive lessons in everything that has gone right, not wrong.
It started with my computer crashing, a fatal crash. It was acting up again and just as I was attempting to restore the system I lost power just for a minute but at a crucial point. I tried to get the system back up but it was beyond my capabilities. So I found someone close by and took the computer there to hopefully be fixed. It turned out to be a neighbor. He did what he could, added some things, saved my files and gave me some great advise. I am grateful my guides helped me find him. Just before calling him I had spent an hour or so looking for any info or discs that would have come with the computer to help my dilemma and had torn apart the house only to not find anything for this computer, old one yes. I finally gave up my search and stopped. I sat down quietly surrounded in the chaos and asked for help. It was Spirit or maybe the fairies or guides that guided me to get the help from a neighbor. No longer seeing the situation as a problem and found the blessing in this experience, I met a wonderful person and my computer is working better than ever with all my files saved. The next day I received an order covering my cost and more. This is happening all the time not getting money but answers and I know it is because I have changed my perception. Yes I tore apart my house but now I am reorganizing it and the energy in the house is flowing.
Years and not an easy ones brings me to this realization. You can read all the books and watch all the videos and attend all the seminars but until the switch is turned on you are only a believer. When things start making sense is when you know it is so. Words are not enough but you know the feeling when you arrive. Gratitude joy happiness even when your computer crashes.
