ArtistWatercolor painting of a field misty soft lightly illuminated forest, spider webs covered in sparkling dewdrops, a multitude tiny various kinds of wildflowers, soft early morning sunrise, mist, hazy, peaceful, tranquil, arthur rackham, james holland, monet. interpreted from the following poem I walked in the woods in the morning and I saw the fairy lace the spiders had spun in the moonlight as a veil for the fairy's face The dewdrops sparkled like jewels, the birds sang in the trees The flowers held up their dainty scents with nectar for the bees I roamed in the woods at noon time but the fairy lace was gone The jewels that sparkled so brightly were stolen by the sun The bees hummed cheerfully to the brook as they both went on their way For the creatures of the woods It was a happy day I walked in the woods at twilight when all was hushed and still but for the hooting of the owl and the song of the whiporwill I felt so very happy as I strolled along with the stars shining above me and around me nature's song!
Poem by
VALLEY FLOWER
I walked in the woods in the morning
and I saw the fairy lace
the spiders had spun
in the moonlight
as a veil for the fairy's face
The dewdrops
sparkled like jewels,
The birds sang in the trees
The flowers held up their
dainty scents
with nectar for the bees.
I roamed in the woods
at noon time
but the fairy lace
was gone.
The jewels that sparkled so brightly
were stolen by the sun
The bees hummed cheerfully
to the brook
as they both went on their way
For the creatures of the woods
It was a happy day
I walked in the woods at twilight
when all was hushed and still
but for the hooting of the owl
and the song of the whiporwill
I felt so very happy
as I strolled along
with the stars shining above me
and around me
nature's song!
FAERIES AND MUSHROOMS
WHAT’S THE CONNECTION?
WELL, WHEN THE POEM MENTIONS…
…the jewels that sparkled so brightly…
THIS REMINDS ME OF…
The moisture droplets exuded
as the mushroom begin to
decompose are full
of enzymes that can help boost
a bee’s immune system,
so important now
in a time when bee colonies
may be collapsing.
Meanwhile, just so you know, all of the fairy poems
shared were gathered (some written by me) a few years prior
to discovering Paul Stamets and his mushroom work. At the time
I was trying to connect, especially children, to nature with
a bit of fun by incorporating fairies, along with nature activities.
Then, when I discovered Paul Stamets and his work with mushrooms,
I thought in a way, I had discovered a holy grail to many of our environmental
problems, which has always been a core interest of mine.
This influence from Paul Stamets began around 2010 to the present.
However, because of one interview which I thought was not
in his usual style of being straight upfront, in fact, appeared to be
over-acting, I began to question the ground upon which he stood.
The following link I think gives a fair assessment and balance to all
in his regard, so perhaps, in the end, we may not throw out the baby
with the bathwater.
