VALLEY FLOWER

Oh come at dusk
to the wide seashore
and look
to the west
with me.

I'll show you there
the fairy isles
that lie
in the sunset sea.

Those magic islands
are wondrous fair,
They are colored
gorgeously
in crimson and gold
and lavender
in the midst
of the sunset sea.

They are never still
but float
as they will
past mountain
and meadow and lee.

They change as they go
and are drawn
to and fro
by the tide
of the sunset sea.

Have you never seen
in those fairy isles
a mountain
or castle or tree?

They are all the work
of the sun elves there
who live in the sunset sea.

Ah, I would
could I go
to those fairy isles
with the elves
forever to be,
but no mortal
can cross
the magic bridge
that spans the sunset sea,
for the sun
makes a bridge
with its golden beams
and the lord
of this land
is he.

The tinted clouds
are the fairy isles
and the sky
is the
sunset sea.

FAERIES AND MUSHROOMS
WHAT’S THE CONNECTION?
WELL, WHEN THE POEM MENTIONS…

Coloured gorgeously…
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE…

Turkey Tail Mushroom
with its beautiful colours,
Not only is it gorgeous,
but it is a powerful
healer.

PAUL STAMETS
STORY
of his
MOTHER.

It is one
which could prove
to be
Life Saving!

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.
