I believe that when we are tired, it is really faeries pushing down on our eye lids. It is because they are sleepy and need somewhere to sit.
When the night sky is bright, it is because the faeries are having a wonderful faerie celebration. They are celebrating the four seasons, the sun, the sky, ocean, earth and love, of course.
Each smile makes a chain reaction that starts by releasing fairy dust from the heavens and makes other people smile as it falls on their heads, unknowingly.
Maybe faeries are just our souls floating around. Our souls exploring and dreaming, bringing back what they found to us in our dreams.
Everytime someone giggles, it sounds like the most beautiful music to faerie ears. This is why it is important to laugh.
When you wake up in the morning, it rouses the faeries sleeping on your eye lids and they wake up in return. They lie around the house for a while, sitting on the rim of your mug. After a while (some take HOURS), they finally leave to go explore, see their faerie friends, laugh and spread joy. They come back at night time again to sleep on your eye lids. You fall asleep in return.
Earlier in the summer, I realized that my backyard was a very relaxing place to meditate in the morning. Of course, due to my lack of organization, I rarely took advantage of this. The few times I did do this though, there were lots of small (cute) bugs buzzing over the tall, tall grass. Even back then, a part of me sensed that they were faeries. It just seemed like the natural answer.
Do faeries = fairies? I do not know. I read somewhere that "faeries" are a sect of Pagan/Wiccan religions.
Fantasy and magic is so powerful because it touches our inner child, more than anything else. I don't think that is immature though. I think that we all need to learn to be more silly, imaginative, loving and open.
I almost squealed in the library when I found out about FaerieCon. I was very pleased when I read that it includes spirituality, dancing, food and live music. I wanted so badly to tell anyone about FaerieCon but was worried that if I chose the wrong person, they would put it down and think of it as unnecessary and silly. Surprisingly, the few people I told about FaerieCon reacted well and understanding. Maybe there is more fairy dust in the air than we think.
