and the faeries dance

want to see the faery circle i made next to my front door?

i started making a circle outside my front door this autumn. i'd gather fallen leaves and arrange them in a circle when i left the house for the morning walk with the pup. the trouble was that my leaf circles never lasted very long - pesky winds.

i brought the stones home from the olympic peninsula in may to live in my bathroom sink. they made bathroom tasks feel calmer and more meditative. (also, whenever i spit out my toothpaste, i pretended the white was foam on the rocks. it was very fun.)

one day, i realized that the rocks didn't want to be in my sink anymore. they wanted to be outside again - in nature. they now have a new home. and i have a faery circle that actually stays put.

by the bye, if you love mail, and want a fun option, my friend amy sends postcards with messages from the faeries! my year of faery post expired earlier this year and i miss it so. they always sent me the loveliest messages. most of the postcards are in my desk drawer so i can pull them out and re-read them whenever my spirit needs a hug.

i love the idea of a stone faerie circle! my gram used to always point out the mushroom circles as the secret meeting of faeries to me when i was little. no doubt why i've always believed.

what? no more rocks in the sink? (i forgot about them actually until right now, but still..) :)

@helen: no, no more rocks in the sink. :( they were looking a little unhappy in there, not quite as smooth as when i brought them home.

@tammy: i look for mushroom circles in the woods! it's fun, though sometimes atlas tromps through them.
