Isn’t this a great picture? While the participants must be very sad that there is no fairy club this week, it makes me happy to know that such a thing as a fairy club exists. I imagine little girls dressed up with wings on their backs remembering that they can fly.
If there was a fairy club for grown ups, I would most definitely attend. I would love to put sparkling fairy dust on my face and beautiful scarves in my hair… And I would love to dance with joy and magic, surrounded by all my colorful friends.
Our imaginations are such juicy places. But as adults, we somehow relegate the playground of our imaginations to imagining fear. Last night, I was at a full moon ceremony and we were recounting that so much of the stuff that we are in fear and worry about never even comes to pass.. so we spend our precious imagination and life force imagining terrible things that never even come to exist except within our own consciousness.
A place like a fairy club would help to get us back on track. We would be reminded of knights in shining armor and beloved love and horses with wings that will carry us into the moonlight where we will be serenaded by the angels.
And in addition to the fairy club, I would love for its next door neighbor to be a puppy playground… and I would go and sit on the floor and play with puppies for a few hours. That would most definitely increase the magic quotient in the most ordinary of days.
As you can tell, this is a sharing without a real destination except for the ramblings of my thoughts. In my writers’ groups, I share with my students to start in the middle of nowhere and see where the words take you. In my case tonight, the words take me to fairy clubs and puppy dogs. And right now, that sounds like heaven to me.
…and here are my words of whimsy for tonight:
I long to sail away in a trail of laughter where only love can find me… and I will make homemade cookies oozing with melted chocolate and wash them down with cold milk… and then I will curl up in his arms and know that this has been a beautiful day.
