The
Fairy Ring
Author
Unknown
Let
us dance and let us sing,
Dancing
in a merry ring;
We'll
be fairies on the green,
Sporting
round the Fairy Queen.
Like
the seasons of the year,
Round
we circle in a sphere;
I'll
be Summer, you'll be Spring;
Dancing
in a fairy ring.
Spring
and summer glide away,
Autumn
comes with tresses gray,
Winter
hand in hand with Spring,
Dancing
in a fairy ring.
Faster,
faster, round we go,
While
our cheeks with roses glow,
Free
as birds upon the wing,
Dancing
in a fairy ring.
A Friend Like You
I leave my home
And walk to school
Knowing that no one has ever thought
I am cool.
But you saw past that
Past my glasses and into my mind
Deep beneath
Where the true me hides.
You want to hang out
Like real friends do
You want to borrow my clothes
Even my shoes.
We shared the good times
And the bad
We are there for each other when we were down
And feeling sad.
I am proud to call you my friend
A friend that always pulls through
Are you proud to call me you're your friend
I really hope you do.By Melanie Englehart

Journey
Author UnknownI talked with thee once when thou wert a child.
I spoke with thee then, in gentle tones mild.
Ye knew me and loved me and danced in my light;
Why did ye then turn away into the night?I saw Fear creep in and then steal you away;
I saw the Dark Demons come dampen your play.
I saw how you shook and beseeched me for help;
But when I appeared, you with terror did melt.Who was it that turned you away from my love?
What horror replaced the Light shone from above?
Who told you I’m evil when never I was?
Who took away beauty and washed it in blood?I ne’er demanded so high an emotion;
That caused you to bleed for any devotion.
I stood aghast to see where you would tread;
I never deserted, but stood by your stead.And when you did stumble, I held out my hand;
And when you did plead, it was my own command.
I answered you truly each time that you spoke;
And waited with patience until you awoke.I did not tell you that knowledge was wrong;
Nor say it was evil to sing you own song.
I did not lay down long listings of rules;
Yet all new religions still honor my Yules.If all of my days are special to others;
Why can’t my children act more like they’re brothers?
The dictums of priesthoods, by whatever name;
Serve only their leaders, for fortune and fame.Through av’rice lies naked before ev’ry view;
Their immoral doctrines still fill up the pew.
With learning constrained to a pitiful few;
The lessons are curbed lest the teachers they hew.Keep ye the Sabbats or let them dance by;
I care not a whit if you do not abide.
There never was any but one rule, no guilt;
My guidance: “An it harm none, do what thou wilt”I never demanded sacrifice of blood;
Never called thee “sinner” nor gave thee the Flood.
I offered Knowledge and Wisdom for thy life;
But never suggested an eternal strife.No minions of darkness attacking at night;
No angels, no demons, and no cosmic fight.
My Eternal Dance is of joy and of life;
My Song is of laughter and ending of strife.So when did it happen? That moment, that spark?
When Knowledge and Reason at last struck their mark.
Though counseled by others to stay in the dark;
You strove to gain Wisdom, and learnt with a start-
That all your old longings and feelings were right!
That I Am the One whom you’ve never lost sight;
Together with Uma, Am Glory and Might –
The Song of the Ancients sung morning and night!With tears and sweet laughter I welcomed you back;
You know that false dogmas no more can attack.
For Wisdom you sought, and where Truth have you found;
The Old God and Goddess with love still abound.I dance in the cosmos, I dance in your heart;
We dance now together and never will part.
Thy childhood is over, here starts your next stage;
To bask in the glory of life as my Sage.Come dance at Our Sabbats and sing to the Moon;
Thy Lord and thy Lady Both welcome thy tune.
We now dance in thy heart and fill thee with love;
As it is now below, so has been above!
Everyday
Wisdom
By
Dr. Wayne Dyer
Stop focusing on what you do not have
and shift your consciousness to an appreciation
for all you are and all that you do have.
The
Night Sky
Author

All day long
The sun shines bright.
The moon and stars
Come out by night.
From twilight time
They line the skies
And watch the world
With quiet eyes.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN MAGIC
Look to nature for expert instructions
SEE! HEAR! TASTE! FEEL! SMELL!
Perceive your energy as a colorful cloak of light
Listen to the wind
Ask: "what if?"
Refine the objects of your attention
Let subtle dreams unfold
Walk as if you are the person you most admire
Watch the night sky for falling stars
Notice how all of the streams flow towards the ocean
Learn not to be afraid of the dark
Surrender to mystery
Ask nothing of others but their beauty
Give ear to hunches, inklings & glimmerings
BREAK RULES !!
Whisper your wishes to faeries
Give consent to daydreaming
Imagine you hear the earth breathing
Be willing to not know the answers
Spend an afternoon with a very old person
WRITE LOVE LETTERS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW
Search for what is not obvious
PLAY LIKE A CHILD
Revere nature & her sacred healing ways
The
future belongs to those who believe in the power of their dreams
Follow your dream … if you stumble, don't stop
and lose sight of your goal, press on to the top.
For only on top can we see the whole view.

When we do the best we can, we never
know what
miracle is wrought in our life,
or the life of another.

Keller
