Celebrating The Larger Reality

Happy Late Night, Sweet Baby,

I loved your photo this morning. I think it is so awesome - and essential - not just to recognize your inner child but to be it - to do the things you did as a child when you first experienced the sense of fascination about things, the sense of belief and of wonder.

Here's what is just as awesome about building a Fairy House at 24..........still believing in it.

Or even more awesome : knowing it. 

Knowing that Fairies exist, and all kinds of woodland  creatures.

It could be any kind of Spiritual Creature, even in physical form.

SB, that is part of what "glimpses" are all about, the kinds of glimpses - out of the corners of your eyes - that we have talked about for so many years now.

When I go to Aliso Canyon, very often I am alone there, and because certain sections of the park look ancient in a Lord Of The Rings way, I always......without fail......try to tune in to that feeling. With no other humans around, when it's just Aliso and me, I can feel that it's trying to show me something. Something I have to glimpse. And so I try to, and it results in my photos of tree roots and spider webs and shadows and such.

All of this is to say that I hope you are building those Fairy Houses for real Fairies! (for real, no joke).

It is so important to have constant contact with those on the Other Side, be they Spirits or Fantastical Creatures, because all are real. All you have to do is tune into them.

And when you do, you have many helpers in your life, because Life Is Huge and we need Helpers. Life extends far beyond the everyday material world, as we have talked about so many times.

The whole point is to integrate your day-to-day life - i.e. your waking life, material life, career, everyday practical activities and thoughts - into the Much Larger (and arguably more important) Spiritual and Fantastical Life that you can feel you are surrounded by.

You can feel it, and you know it's there. 

You are talking to the ultimate Inner Child here, SB.  :)

I'm kind of an authority on this stuff, lol.

Seriously though, I think it is beautiful to always be connected to what you really feel, and if you think about it, when you were a child there was nothing to get in the way of those feelings. No peer pressure, no cultural "modification" (becoming entirely homogenized into the material world), no fear of what people would think.

Children are born into the World - think about that for a minute - and because they are coming from somewhere, they retain, for a little while (months or maybe a couple years) a residue of that reality. Which is why children know about fairies, and ghosts, and imaginary friends and all the things they forget as they become more and more attuned to the material world.

But those of us who never lose those early feelings......we should not only encourage them within ourselves but build on them, tune them in more and more.

Notice things.

Communicate with things. Not just people, but with things, with ideas, with thoughts. Communicate with all those things. And especially with Things You Perceive, because your perception is your most accurate guide in life.

Communicate with things you perceive.

You already know all of this, but I just reinforce it. What a great photo. :)

I will see you in the morning. I Love You. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo  :):)
