Everyone has a Fairyland

 

As the sun set on Blue Fairy Hill, fairies so charmed by the sight gathered together to dance together in the brilliant colors of light.

They whirled and they twirled, sweetening the blueberries and coloring them blue.

Morning Has Broken

 

 

 

 

 

And the first of the fairy folks has entered the garden.

Ralphie knows that magic happens in every garden, all one has to do is look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Due to his large open heart the fairy folk have deemed Ralphie worthy of becoming a true Fairy Dog!

Notice his fairy fine glimmer and glow!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In time he will earn his wings!

Kingdom of Childhood

Childhood unlike Fairyland (which is a very real and permanent place), is a temporary Kingdom unto itself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A finite period of time filled with Magical Thinking and Infinite Possibilities.

 

 

 

 

 

Where practically anything seems Possible.

 

 

 

 

 

As we grow older we tend to loose this magical way of thinking.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or do we just… forget?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fairies whispered to me long ago (and I believed them) that if  a person retains their childhood wonder and belief in possibilities, well then the portals to Fairyland will remain open to them forever and ever more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What do you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To see a World in a Grain of Sand…

What’s happening in your corner of the world today?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

” To see a World in a Grain of Sand,

 And Heaven in a Wild Flower.

 Hole Infinity in the palm of your hand,

 And Eternity in an Hour.”

William Blake

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some Fairy Fun Facts:

William Blake (1757- 1827) was a poet, an engraver, a visionary; prophet and mystic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

William began drawing seriously at the age of 10. At age 14 he apprenticed with a master engraver for 7 years. At age 21 he studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, but was unhappy with the instruction so left to navigate his own course. He later became known for his mastery of illustrative watercolors and poetry.

Today William Blake’s poetry and art work are very much loved and respected by people all around the world.

Create your own great story out loud, the possibilities are endless.

 

 

One Corner of my Garden

Day or night, from dawn to dusk all through the spring, summer and fall,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fairies tend to my gardens, nourishing and enriching both flora and soil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quite a wonderful temptation to sit amidst the Thermopsis yellow and tall while fragrant roses bloom.

Magic happens in every garden, all one has to do … is look

Love comes in many shades and hues.
