Fairies of Joy


Fairies of Joy
We come to you today to bring you a message of joy. Not one alone, for we are many. We speak to you with a united voice from our kingdom of flight. 
You have been wondering why we have made our presence known to you and why we are appearing in such great numbers.
We may be the smallest of birds, but we are powerful beings capable of chasing even the mightiest of eagles.
We remind you to find joy in life, to sing and hum in daily life. These vibrations create an internal massage and are capable of restoring health and balance in your life. Find joy in all you do and sing it out loud.
Many cultures have connected us to the mystical realms. 
We are your connection and link to fire and relationships, the past and the future. Even our wing movement in the figure of eight represents infinity and the laws of cause and effect.
We have long bills and tongues and we are able to extract nectar from flowers. We remind you to extract life force energy from the nectar of life around you. You can revitalize your self from the very ethers of the universal life force.
Use this ability to choose from life, the colors and fragrance that will heal you and create the spiritual medicines to heal you and others around you.
You have called us into your physical realm to energize and revitalize you with the very essence of life itself.
Look around you and see the joy and the possibilities that you can create. Remember to use these creative gifts to heal and win hearts in love.
We never walk, we fly everywhere. We are capable of flying high speed at take off. We can stop immediately in mid flight. We can fly backwards. These are abilities that we use to explore the past and draw from the nectars of joy. We will help you to find joy and sweetness in any situation. 
Grab joy while you can - as quickly as you can.
We want to remind you to truly enjoy what you are doing, become light as a feather ... life is rich with nectar.
We can help you to find joy and sweetness in any situation.
We have been named for jewels because of our iridescent colors, we are sometimes called the purple crowned fairy and work with the nature devas to enhance and energize the flowers.
We bring you rain, the rainbow and the promise of rain. 
You recognized and honored us, we now honor you with our gift of life.
We remind you to watch your intake of sugars, we thrive on these sugars but you must balance your diet with the proper foods.
Be playful in life, bathe often, play in the water, allow the water to cleanse, purify and energize you. Sit in the stream of life and splash. Splash the waters of life on those around you, remind them that life is meant to be joyful and spontaneous.
Get regular and deep sleep and rest, this is necessary so that you do not burn yourself out.
It may be necessary to journey, we sometimes migrate from Alaska to Central America to complete our cycle.
We will help you to accomplish that which seems impossible and we will teach you to find the miracle of joyful living from your own life circumstances.
Joy and peace always from the fairy realm ...

Cowboy Dinners


Cowboy dinners
I fixed a cowboy dinner tonight. I got out my Dutch oven and poured in the coconut oil. I went down to my cellar and picked out some organic potatoes that I grew last summer. They had sprouts on them, but the knife cut away the skin to reveal a white creamy texture. I was amazed that they were good after nearly one year.
Commercial potatoes are one of the most pesticide laden vegetables you can buy. They are sprayed with a chemical to inhibit sprouting. When the potatoes are ready, diesel fuel is poured on them to kill the plant and make harvesting easier.
I picked out 2 large onions and cut the organic carrots.
350 degrees in the oven for one hour makes it easy to cook. I added broccoli for the last 15 minutes and yum, yum, yum.
I had company for dinner tonight. A couple visiting from Cambodia were camping at Calf Creek Campground. I invited them to enjoy a country home cooked meal. 
I had a chance to show off my old place and give them a bit of history on my homestead.
Language was a bit of a problem but we had an enjoyable afternoon and dinner.
They asked about my wife and I explained that she died nearly 2 years ago. 
When it came time to eat, they placed a small plate next to me and filled it with food. A water glass was added and they asked me to speak with my wife.
I was a little surprised, but focused my intent on my wife. Almost immediately, I felt her familiar presence. The tears and emotion accompanied and I had to wait a moment before I could speak. I thanked her for her presence and asked for her blessing. The couple responded and let me know they felt her too. 
We talked of families and future plans. They told me of Cambodia and helped me say some words in Khmer.
I felt my heart connect tonight with a couple that were here traveling through my homeland. I was honored to share my way of life with them. They shared with me their life in Cambodia.
They invited me to visit them in Cambodia this winter when it is cold and the days are short here in Escalante. 
Winter is their dry season and the temperatures are in the 80’s and 90’s year round. 
I told them I would consider the invitation.
My heart already knows the answer.
My ego mind will try to convince me that I can’t afford the trip, It is too far and how will I travel without speaking the local language.
My spiritual self will remind me of how I felt when the invitation was offered. She will use my heart connection to get my attention and keep me focused on the adventure.
Then, there is the feeling I received when I felt my wife sit in the empty chair and listen.
The food remained on the plate during the meal and it was tenderly removed from the table when we finished, the chair was placed back in its place.
I knew that a new adventure was in my future, why should I be surprised.
Ego ... “Cambodia?
Spiritual self ...“Remember how you felt?”
Ego ...“What about the chickens?”
Spiritual self ...“You already have someone who will take care of them.”
Ego ...“What about a passport?”
Spiritual self ...“You already have one.”
Ego ...“The money!”
Spiritual self ...“You have some saved.”
Ego ... “You are following the wind.”
Spiritual self ... “ Follow your heart and the wind will guide your path.”

Wondering ...


I splashed in the small creek with my grandsons yesterday. We walked up slick rocks meandering through water, moss and fish.
It was there I saw you, sitting in the water happily enjoying the warm summer sun, splashing and totally absorbed in nature’s beauty.
You smiled so brightly, I could tell you were in love with life. 
You splashed the boys and engaged them in a friendly water game. They soon warmed to your smile and laughter and they too noticed your love of life.
I looked at you wondering, could it be?
Could it really be?
You felt it too.
We tried to talk but you are from far away and words escaped us. Unable to talk we stood in the water and marveled at the beauty around us. 
Time stood still for a moment and in the silence of nature we understood our mutual love of life.
Most importantly, I felt your heart and you felt mine.
The boys tugged at me impatiently wanting to explore the water and its mysteries. 
I wanted to stay longer but the boys were filled with limitless energy and urged me on.
I wanted to hold your hand and look into your eyes, but it was then I saw your ring and wondered.
Sadly, I left you there in the middle of the stream, urged on by the boys.
Sitting on the bank watching the boys play, I felt your gaze, turning, I saw you standing on the bridge, watching me.
I wondered, could it be?
Could it really be?
I turned my attention back to the boys playing in the water, so happily engaged in play and forgot you for a moment.
Again I felt your gaze, and turning, I saw you walking towards me.
You stood there in the afternoon sunlight, looking so radiant, smiling so brightly.
I wondered, could it be?
Could it really be?
We tried to speak again, but words failed us. 
In silence, I felt your heart and you felt mine.
Should I reach out?
Should I touch your hand?
I saw your ring and wondered.
I touched your hand and waved goodbye.
I wondered again, could it be?
Could it really be?
Time will tell and in my heart, I trust in life and love and smiles.
Now, here I am, driving back, to find your smile and touch your hand.
Are you there?
Are you really there?
I wonder, could it be?
Could it really be?
My Beloved Ones ... I know you are there.
Could it be? 
Could it truly be?
As I near this place, my heart know true and pleads with me ... 
Trust in me! and love once more ...
Wondering? ...
Wondering! ...
Wondering ...

Dear One ...


The tears ran freely and unashamedly when you stood by my side today. 
I thought I was going to lay in the hammock and take a nap but I felt your presence close to me. 
I remember the days we sat together watching nature from our back yard porch. 
You were with me again today and still with me as I write. 
You may have stepped out of my vision for a while but you are now my Guardian and companion angel. 
I know you really haven’t left me although it has been nearly two years since your earthly body died. 
Somehow the music on my player knows exactly how to evoke the energy to connect us. 
My days lonely without you as I try to fill them with projects and busy work. 
How do you like the color on the old house? I wanted to match the desert rose rocks that we found a few years ago, but it looks more like peach. 
Know what? 
It is the same color as the rock we found in the desert. I thought you would like it. 
I am painting the trim bright white, it makes the color pop. 
I am getting ready for another Griffin reunion here at the old homestead. 
After 132 years this old house is still welcoming and cozy. 
My new grass has more weeds than grass but it is green and helps to control the blowing dust from the neighbors dirt farm. 
I got some more chickens. Five of them, they make me laugh as I see them do chicken things. They remind me of some of the people we have known through the years. 
I got some backpacking gear to go out and do some multi day hikes but somehow I can’t bring myself to go out alone without someone along. 
I wonder where I will be in  year from now. 
Have you got any information that you can share with me? 
The world is still struggling to find balance with the chaos of the people upon her. She is reflecting the discordant energy of the people. 
I am looking forward to the summer rains to help me with the watering. Our reservoir is low and needs to be replenished.
I wanted to take some of our favorite drives into the mountains, but again, it’s not much fun without you. 
My monthly reunions dinners are helping to fill the empty place in my heart. We had 18 at the last gathering. They are a lot of fun. You would like them. 
How are the rest of the family? How is your Dad? and my Dad? Do you see your brother much? I’ll bet you’ve had some good talks with Jesse, he died so young. 
I know you were at Troy’s wedding in Mesa last month, I didn’t feel like going alone and having to sit outside again. We did that 3 times already.
Your sister is moving forward in her divorce with Bob. He is being selfish but your sister is so much happier.  The dark energy from Bob was so destructive to her spirit. She is regaining her power and reclaiming her powerful soul, the one we once knew. 
Oh, Sweetie ... I miss you so. 
Keep close ...
It so helps. 
The cat birds came in mass this week so I looked up their message. 
“Communication and being extra careful about what I say and to whom,” how about that. It is amazing to see the witness of nature in my life. 
I am seeing dragonflies this summer ... you said to look for you when they appear. 
I feel you in my heart. 
I see you in the flowers. 
I’m sorry I haven’t taken very good care of your medicine circle this year.
I will start energizing it again when I finish the painting and the reunion is over. 
When I scattered some of your ashes there, the wildflowers really came alive. 
The Russian sage was so beautiful this spring. 
I planted our sunflowers again this year, you will be able to see their spiral pattern from your vantage place. 
What do you want me to do with your things? They are in the attic along with most of your things. 
It’s not fair, you know, to visit me in my dreams when I am not able to respond as I would like. 
Do you still have your long red hair? 
Red is my weakness, you know that. 
I hold your red braid of hair to remind me of how beautiful your hair was. 
You missed the fresh cherries this year, the apricots are loaded and ripe now. Soon the peaches and apples will be maturing and ready to harvest. I miss you Love. Always ...
