Hot like the sun
Wet like the rain
Green like the leaves
Life is a game

Stars in my head
Shine Moon shine
Everything's cool
And I feel fine!

Can you touch
the root that feeds us?
Can you hear
the words that I say?
Can you feel
the music move you?
Can you feel alive today?

Strong like the grass, tall like a tree
Free like the wind, eternally
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain
Just running wild, again and again and again...

Can you touch
the root that feeds us?
Can you hear
the words that I say?
Can you feel
the music move you?
Can you feel alive today?

Falledal do, falledal dea
falledal do, falledal da

Bumblebees and blossom, only trees and me
Humble bees and blossom, only trees and me...

---lyrics by OMNIA

a couple weeks ago, i was at faecon (but that is a topic for another time)

and one of the people kept bringing up the question...'what is the difference between a good faerie and a bad faerie?'

i heard a number of responses to this, and the best one i heard (though i know i didnt hear all of them)   was the 'intent' is the difference.

while that is a great answer, it doesnt make a difference...

the biggest secret.... there is no difference ;)
there is no seelie or unseelie court.

faeries don't classify each other as good or bad, they arent a category, they simply ARE.

you can have a group of dryads and some of them may be nice and some of them may be absolute bitches.
you can have a group of leshy and some may be cruel and others may be kind.
or any other type.  race, type or category does not determine what an individual being is or chooses to be. you cant say 'well this one faerie was bad, so all of their kind must be bad'. no, it doesnt work that way.

every faerie has the will to be kind or cruel. every faerie has the choice to be helpful or harmful. every faerie can be mischievous and fun or vengeful and murderous. it doesnt matter what type of faerie.. what race.. what you look like or what power you have, bottom line is its the choice made. sometimes its with reason or intent. sometimes its cause/effect (an event might happen and they will react accordingly to it)..sometimes its from emotion. sometimes its just from plain ol boredom. whatever reason, good/bad faeries are one in the same.

Green Lady, Forgotten.
in secrecy, i live,
in solitude, i keep,
hidden in the shadows,
mystery runs deep.
i am not the devil,
i am not a tree,
e'er tied to nature,
i shall always be.
i cannot show you gods,
nor end your strife,
tis hard enough to live
a stolen second life.
a witch, a druid, an elf,
all pieces of my past,
though meditation helps,
the memories never last.
ever-present, am i,
yet so easily, forgotten,
cast to the realm of myth,
from hearts grown so rotten.
to most, i don't exist,
in this world, so cold,
tis the price to pay
for being a creature of olde.
