A theme has become evident this weekend. One of tolerance and understanding just what it means.

Time and time again in life I've found myself in groups of people feeling an odd person out. I quietly slink away to my quiet content corner and put time into things I feel less draining of my energy. I get the feeling some may say this is intolerant. I say it's live and let live. I wish them no ills, I hold no grudge, I do not feel negative.

The other hand is forcing me to be in a place that saps my energy and let's others try to sway my life or what they feel is right? Is that tolerance? Not in my books.

Is tolerance seen as hording a bunch of people in a room that have nothing in common just to show tolerance? Or is tolerance living our lives and not holding grudges? I say the latter, but again, I'm not the norm.

I'm glad Luminea mentioned this place to me, it's more a quiet retreat than other online networks...specially with my leaf background. lol I'm off to my RL quiet corner where I simply can be me. Blessing to all for a wonderful day with warmth.

Fate and destiny are not something to try to fight against. I've typically have led my life the past few years simply accepting whatever comes my way and dealing as I can. I've always though it more grounding instead of wishing for what didn't come my way or wanting something different than I have. Our silly dog, Rex, taught me that  if something is not working to simply move to the next bush that feels better and right.

As the Fae pull and coax me into the Otherworld, I know it is somewhere I must be. I only hope I can hold my end of the deal and not let them down.. I wouldn't want  them turning mischievous on me! A Kitchen Fae with a sweet tooth already loves to sprinkle sugar everywhere in my kitchen. Perhaps it's a brownie, but I haven't  been granted a glance or  insight into who or what type of Fae he be.  I can't  imagine angering or disrespecting him, imagine the sticky situation that would cause! lol

I understand connecting with those entities that balance and ground us, give us comfort in times when we are  low, but I'm not sure how comfortable I would feel in asking for favors or help. Do they want me to ask? Are they just happy co-existing and sharing time with me? Perhaps sharing a joint effort of watching a lovingly tended flower blossom? Sprinkling sugar on  my counter whenever the lid is  left off of the sugar container? Letting me daydream and taking comfort as my thoughts add light to the world?

I'm sure when I am ready to listen and more intune they will help me know what they want. They are already urging me to quit smoking, and supporting my body as the need and desire dwindle.

Feel free to ponder or comment, both are just as appreciated.

The Fae, quirky little imps

Sit at my window and primp primp primp

So enchanting their voices as they call to me

Insistent they can be

........They give me no choice but to follow

I don't know where this will lead

My heart already lifted, It's something I need

I dream of the garden I will build for them in the summer

I hope they come in many a number

....They give me no choice but to follow

What a friendly enchanting place! Thanks to those who friended me and gave me such a warm welcome. It'll take a me a few weeks to jump in and get everything looking right, but I feel at home already. It's been years since I've blogged, but I'm finding much inspiration from welcoming the Fae into my life.

Light and Fae blessings to all.
