I went for a walk 2 days ago and it was very windy. Dust was blowing everywhere and it’s a wonder I didn’t return home blind from all of the sand I had in my eyes. It was fun though. The wind itself gave me a clearing that only it could provide.
I was led to a neighbor’s yard I had found before about a month ago. It had me at hello. It is this home that has both an odd feeling of being lived in and being abandoned. The yard is what called me and the Fae that have found a way to make the place a little secret garden.
The plant life isn’t highly unusual – a few trees, a couple of palms, bougainvillea and a few other plants that have sprung up. What makes it so wonderful is the combination of a few things – the trees, the stone wall, and the lovely stone statue in front of the door.
Guardians are everywhere and can be such a splendor to have in our lives. Trees are amazing guardians and only need the extra love and permission to do their job. They keep the surrounding areas safe, protect the home from harm, and can offer simple comforts as shade and seasonal beauty. The thing with trees is that they will oftentimes ask their neighboring allies for help if needed. They are a strong faction and have always bent their limbs to give us comfort. Remember the book The Giving Tree? It speaks very clearly about the giving and eternally kind nature of trees.
