Although I love flowers very much, I won’t see them when I’m gone. So in lieu of flowers:

Buy a book of poetry written by someone still alive, sit outside with a cup of tea, a glass of wine, and read it out loud, by yourself or to someone, or sile

On fairy tales -

'The child intuitively comprehends that although these stories are unreal, they are not untrue ...

For those who immerse themselves in what the fairy tale has to communicate, it becomes a deep, quiet pool which at first seems to ref

Let’s never be “out of the woods”

"I feel a little alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit. I would fain forget all my morning’s occupation—my obligations to society. But sometimes i

I am a creature of the Fey

I am a creature of the Fey
Prepare to give your soul away
My spell is passion and it is art
My song can bind a human heart
And if you chance to know my face
My hold shall be your last embrace.

I shall be thy lover...

“To be detached from the world, (in the sense that Buddhist and Taoists and Hindus often talk about detachment), does not mean to be non-participative. By that I don't mean that you just go through doing everything mechanically and have your thought

Sleeping in the Forest
— Mary Oliver

I thought the earth
remembered me, she
took me back so tenderly, arranging
her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds. I slept

The Fairy Shepherd
by Cicely Fox Smith

When stars come gleaming one by one,
And fold and farm are still,
O I go out to keep the sheep

"A lot of you despise me,
And I don't understand why.
I am not ugly or deserving of your hate.
I survive every day on the streets,

At a certain age, the light that you live in is inhabited by the shades…I’m very conscious that people dear to me are alive in my imagination…These people are with me. It’s just a stage of your life when the death of people doesn’t banish them out

Don't fall in love with a woman who reads,
a woman who feels too much,
a woman who writes...
Don't fall in love with an educated,
magical, delusional, crazy woman.
Don't fall in love with a woman who thinks,
who knows what she knows and also k

It's not too late... the angel said.
Even though the world's a mess...
Even though you're not as young...

CLOSING Cycles 2023:

One of my best memories of Christmas Eve was when I was a young child of six or seven.

My father was visiting his uncle in the nearby village. When he returned, it was dark, and he wore his winter coat. He said he saw Santa Claus making his way o

My favourite fairy tale - "The Snow Queen"-

Their ancient melodies ring on
