I have an affinity for fairies.
I have fairies in my bathroom.
I have fairies in my sewing/craft/office.
I even have fairies in my bedroom.
(What a great husband I have!)
It took me a long time to figure out what this fascination with fairies was all about.
One day I figured it out.
It's amazing how good things can come
out of bad things.
To escape some of the bad stuff I went through as a kid,
I would "imagine" myself away.
Sometimes I would go to an open field
behind the barn at my cousin's house.
The grass would be high.
The sun bright and warm.
Cicadas would be singing.
And I would see little people
flying above me as I lay in the grass.
I was hidden from the bad stuff,
and the fairies would keep watch over me.
As time has passed I've come to realize
that they weren't fairies that I saw.
Most likely they were dragonflies.
So now I also have an affinity for dragonflies.

Both are beautiful creatures! I miss how much my imagine ran wild when I was younger. I wish I could think like that again.
ReplyDeleteA great imagination in the eyes of a child is truly precious. It helps through the hard times and makes the good times even more special.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creatures. I love winged things and love to fly in my imagination.Bless you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the picture into the mind of a sweet child. :) I'm glad your husband doesn't mind your fairies in the bedroom.
