My Shadow    The Quiet of the Year    Breathe    The Ghost in My Porch Swing    Eyes of a Soulmate    Boots    Bird and Birdbath    Desert Dawn    Time    Heaven    Big Wind    Popcorn    Lost Mine Trail    White Roses    Dance    Smiling Moon    Like Beavers and Wolves    Race    Hot Tears    Exteriors    A Good Cry

 

The Fairies' Favorite Poem: "The Quiet of the Year"

Interpretation: The fairies believe there is a certain time of year when really important things happen, a time in which we need to be still and quiet in order to listen, to hear, and to understand what is taking place. (The time of year when important things happen varies, of course; but in this instance, it is the time when acorns fall.) The poem also speaks to sacrifice, compassion, and the ability to recognize our impact on the world with even our smallest actions. And with this understanding, we may come to appreciate the mystery of time passing both quickly and slowly, and comprehend the need for all human beings to be both sad and happy.
