I’m so glad you saw this. I have told a lot of people about that time we were walking last summer and some huge (I thought beetle or hornet) something flew by. I asked, “what was that?!” You said, “I don’t know. A faerie?” Can’t wait to see you!
Very magical photo Mary! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I just read this intense article about the real Thanksgiving….the Puritans and Pilgrams massacred the natives that were unwilling to be captured as slaves, killing women, children, men…and would celebrate in Thanksgiving…one massacre after another. The beginning of Thanksgiving we are taught is so different than the reality for the tribes who first lived on this US land.
I had always struggled with Thanksgiving since adulthood, when I first learned about the reaility of how Thanksgiving started. But the last few years I’ve chosen to turn it into a gratitude thing and transform the atrocities that were it’s original premise.
Ah Calen, thank you. Honestly, I didn’t realize I had captured her until I transferred the photo onto my computer. I think it was more like she jumped into my camera and captured me!
Happy Thanksgiving, my friend Calen.
Mary
I couldn’t let your Thanksgiving Post, complete with magical Fairy wishes pass me by without stopping by to express sentiment for this time of year….Happy Thanksgiving Mary…have a wonderful day 😀
‘Tis a flying visit this morning with a promise of imminent return later today 🙂 I know I’ll be heading for the wilderness on your doorstep after today’s return back to the working world for a little R & R with Mother Nature herself 🙂 I do so enjoy the serenity she offers unconditionally.
Thank you Dewin, and a very happy day to you. Enjoy the gifts of the wilderness that She so willingly gives. I look forward to more dancing in the woods with you. I have missed you.
I also want to escape into your last poem before to long.
Namaste
Mary
How could I forget the sweet memory of that magical weekend spent dancing with you…you were amazing 😀
Thank you for welcoming me back into the fold with warmth and best wishes. I’ve missed you as well 🙂
Keep Dancing into the Light ~ By ~ S.K Lindeman ~
Keep dancing into the light
Around the beekeeper’s dream,
The scent of eternal silence
Jewelled in a honey tree,
Almond finger blossoms waving,
Snow petalled fairy wings,
Sense a silvery pattern
Woven from a spidery skein,
Lightly, lifting like a bubble
Floating on heaven scented night,
The web is now unfolding
Keep dancing into the light.
~
It will be a delight to have you stop by at Dewin’s…I’ve even put the kettle on in anticipation of your visit 🙂
I will be there! Right now I am with family in a place with very little internet. I look forward coming over. Thank you so much for this beautiful poem. I will treasure it.
Namaste
Mary
Thank you, Dewin. It was a nice Thanksgiving. I have an awesome family. I don’t see them near enough.
Sadly, we lost one over the weekend. He will be dearly missed.
Namaste
I’m so very sorry to read of your family’s loss over the Thanksgiving period. I hope you are (all) okay, and that the family find comfort, love, and support amongst each other at this time.
One wonders now as to the little Fairy who lit up your world…perhaps she came to you before the weekend for a reason? 🙂
I will return to take a long lazy stroll through Chaos and Calm 🙂 Time was not mine at the weekend to do with as I pleased, and other pressing matters away from WP took precedence. So, keep the kettle on and throw an extra log on the fireside…I’ll be back to share a cuppa and take a wander with you. Thank you 🙂
Until next time…take care in all ways for always and always 🙂
Aw, thank you Dewin. I look forward to that cuppa. An extra log is definitely a good idea. It’s cold! And I look forward to hanging out with Merlin over at your place too. Time is a weird thing sometimes. It’s hard to hold on to. 🙂
I’ll be sure to wear a warm coat and pack a thermos flask for our stroll 🙂
Merlin took a sneaky peek at the photographs on Chaos and Calm, and tells me they are very special…the images of water, he said, were exceptionally good…but he asked me to check out the photograph of the low-flying seagull cresting a tipping wave. He was radiant 🙂 I think that image caught his eye…he simply loves to watch those magnificent aviators skim the surf and ride the wind like mavericks 🙂
Stay toasty warm Mary. Have a wonderful afternoon 🙂
Thank you, Michael! Yes, it was a wonderful family day. Sadly, we lost a family member on Saturday. Some family was with him through his transition over Thanksgiving. He left really beautifully, but he will be missed. I hope yours was good too.
Peace and Love to you.
Mary
Hey BF!
I guess we just have to have it…or on bad days, live off the love and magic from the day before?
I need to get over to your site soon. I know I’ve missed some posts that I really want to read. I’ve been sort of off the radar lately. See you soon, over at your place.
Peace
::Claps:: This Fairy’s magic must be so shareable! She dances and twinkles outside of the screen. I want to follow her for a little while, and I’ll bring my own wand :-D. ::hands clasped together:: ::opens wings:: and I’m off….

I hope your holidays have been good so far. Happy New Year!
I haven’t had internet for 2 weeks and won’t get it back until Jan 20th. I just happen to be in town today. Big wind came through and knocked the satellite out. Oh well, whatcha gonna do?
I miss everyone! Take care, and I look forward to going to your site when I am back up!

I missed your magical fairy on Thanksgiving dear Mary.. I hope you are well..

Our internet went out during a big wind on 12/15. We won’t get it back until January 20th!! So, my emails are mounting up. I only have it now because I’m not at home for a day. Going home soon. Just wanted to say hi and Happy New Year! Love and Hugs to you. ❤ ❤

Thank you dear Mary.. I have not been on the internet as much.. A choice, I turned the modem off for a time 🙂 Sometimes we need our quiet time 🙂 Sending you all the very best for 2017 and beyond dear friend.. Enjoy your New Year with Love .. Sue xxx ❤ ❤
Hey Sue!
Happy New Year to you! I just got internet back today for the first time since 12/15. But now it is snowing, so it will probably go temporarily out again. So nice to see you here. It will take me a long time to catch up, but I want to make the rounds. Take good care, my friend. Much love, Mary ❤
Oh good luck with your connections.. Do not worry about catch ups.. we know we are both here for one another.. Keep warm in that snow.. Love and Hugs xxx
Happy New Year, Ka! I just got internet back after being without it since a big wind took it out on 12/15. It is snowing now, so it may not last, but Hi!!!!!
So nice to see you as always. Huge blessings to you for 2017! Should be interesting.
Aloha,
Mary
Hi Mary, I’ve been missing you! I hope all is well and I send you light and beautiful energy. May this new year be one of great pleasure and awareness for you. I feel a strange shift in the energy even though there is so much that seems unsettled. Many blessings friend ❤
Hey Lorrie! Happy New Year!! Thanks for missing me. I just got my internet back after a big wind knocked it out on 12/15. It is snowing now, though, which usually takes it out temporarily. The satellite is fixed, though. Yay! I have a lot of catching up to do. So nice to see you, Lorrie. It should be an interesting year. I have buckled my seat belt already! Thanks for the blessings, and right back atcha, my friend.
Love,
Mary
Yes, Mary…seat belts most definitely required for this year!!! Hope the storm isn’t too bad…and that you are not disconnected for too long 😉 Much love…many blessings ♡

Hey Barbara,

I’ve been being deep in, not at a posting place quite yet, and company coming, so it may be a while. What a generous offer! I will come over to your place now and check it out. Thanks for coming by. Always nice to see you, Ms. Magnificence.
Mary, PLEASE, we need another of your Inimitable Magical postings, it’s been too long, we NEED your unbelievable inspiration. Love you Beyond the Beyond
