What a delightful journey back into y...Ahh, Laura, <br />What a delightful journey back into your childhood world of lovely <br />fantasy. yes, I admit to having a big part in instilling the love of <br />fairies in your imaginative little minds. My mother told me about <br />fairies and I have shared stories about them with your mom)my little <br />sister), and years later with my own two children. <br />today it seems to be frowned on to tell children fairy stories because <br />it might be detrimental to their mental ability to separate fact from <br />fiction. If that 'isn't the most stupid idea ever. Innocent little <br />fairies who only brought magical wonder, fun and laughter are much <br />kinder to mental growth than the gross and horror stuff children are <br />bombarded with today online, in books, movies, and real life <br /><br />CHildren have this wonderful ability to create their own magical world <br />of lovely creatures and beings that live in the beauty of nature and <br />revel in the mystical loveliness of a moonlit night with moonbeams <br />streaming thru he trees to light a mossy circle where tiny fairies had <br />a party. Grownups make their escape from reality in many ways..some <br />not so good. <br />I have seen my children on their` knees peering out into the dark <br />backyard for fairies. It should be apart of every child's life. No need <br />to worry about the kids not knowing fact from fiction. Fact is usually <br />harsh and ugly. Fiction can be anything you want it to be. As the child <br />grows up the line between gradually sharpens and th child just knows <br />the difference. But tucked away in the memory are some lovely memories <br />of making friends with the fairies. Only a child can see them..a child <br />that believes. Part of me is still a child, I think. I looked at the <br />illustrations on your blog and my own memory took a quick journey t MY <br />childhood, oh, so long ago.There in a secret space is a lovely world of <br />make believe,where fairies ride on Luna Moths and slide on moonbeams an <br />swing on a crescent mon, and drink from cups made from tiny flowers, and <br />drank punch made from dew gathered from roses.. fireflies flew about <br />giving light for the festivities. <br /><br />yes, only believers are allowed a glimpse into that secret magical world <br />of fairies. DOn't grow up too fast so that you leave the lovely dreams of <br />childhood lost in a dark jungle never to be found again. <br />Aunt Poo (Ruth Martin)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4432077830895573755.post-68145226588236291022012-01-11T15:15:58.637-06:002012-01-11T15:15:58.637-06:00What a wonderful venture back into your, and my ow...What a wonderful venture back into your, and my own childhood to visit the World of Fairies!<br />It is just amazing and such beautiful pictures that are so realistic. I love when my own thoughts go back to watching you all using your excessive imagination(which I admit I did influence) building fairy homes with walnut shells for beds and rosepetals for covers to keep them from being chilled. I'm very proud that you each had that special imagination that needs nothing but nature to inspire it.<br />I love this as you know! Mother<br />I can remember seeing in my own mind lightning bugs and butterflies flying all around the yard with fairies riding on them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
