"Did You See Them? ~ Enchanting Sunset"
Art & Story, Copyright, Martha Romano
A red fox basks in the brilliant glow of the last rays of the sun as the giant fireball melts like molten gold into the horizon where sunlit meadow meets forest shadows. Fox's fur reflects the gold light, as do the tips of the tall meadow grasses. Suddenly ~ right before Fox's wondering eyes, a ribbon of translucent faerie wings flutters swiftly across the meadow, one of the faeries hovering just long enough to kiss Fox's shiny black nose ~ and then the ethereal elementals evaporate into the invisible side of the faerie realm. A moment later, the sun too, has vanished, and the golden splendor and faerie-winged magick is over. But the fox, his senses keenly attuned to the finer energies, witnessed more than most will ever see, for though he is of this earthly world, he has one black velvet paw (or perhaps both!) in the faerie realm, and thus, he is able to shapeshift between the two worlds at will. One could learn a lot from a fox . . .
