telepathic bond with horses! I'm feeling energy quiver in my toes. I'm feeling it race through me. I feel spirals and tendrils of it slipping out my hair, curling around my ears, buzzing around my eyes and pouring out of my fingertips. I want to speak, and when I do, there will be magic. Blue magic, which swirls and stirs in the air. I'm feeling energy, magic, myself-ness curling, shivering, quivering, being in the air, in myself, I am electric.
Where does this electricity come from? I am a horse person. Oh so much. Let me tell you, my friends, I went to this equine (horse) workshop which was absolutely right for me. Totally right and natural for me.
Why was it so right? Because the second, or nearly thereafter, that I stepped out the porch door to go have experience #1, being with the horses (no touching or talking), I felt an IMMEDIATE psychic/telepathic link with one Arabian, Justice. OMG, you guys, I heard ze ask me, "Don't you want to come closer?" I wasn't shaken by this, but rather was like, "oh wow!" And as I drew closer, a few steps at a time (holy shit guys, a horse is talking to me, and I'm hearing it crystal clear like it's the most natural thing in the world and I've been able to do it all my life and just now "realized" it), I began to be hit by giggles. Pure, pure joy just running, racing, turning cartwheels within me.
It was AMAZING, holy fuck, seriously. I've never experienced such utter, pure joy MINDFULLY, as in all in my head but definitely in my body and racing everywhere else (there was no other person in my head, just this connection), with a four legged being. Well, I have with a cat before, actually, but not this words-connection. I think it had to be words to get my attention or something like that, but after that, words weren't needed. It was all this telepathic joy-bond.
So anyway, after that happened, we had this body scan meditation where I felt, "well I certainly don't need this so I'll do my own thing." I was tempted to move away from the group, but something kept me there, a herd mentality or something like that, and I began writing stuff, really important stuff that made total sense to me and filled me with a sense of empowerment. I was silent, no disturbing the other humming beings.
Then, OMGOMGOMGOMG the SECOND exercise was called "give and take" where you get to choose the horse (though in I think all three cases (two other participants, other than me) the horse chose us) and you're in the paddock with them and you walk until they give notice, and eventually they come to you or not. And coming to you is a powerful experience, like giving them the full reins in the relationship, acknowledging the authentic self that is a free spirit, deserving of all the room and space it needs.
Not coming can be just as powerful, as one participant found out - ze found out, after talking with the group leaders in some degree of frustration, that the horse was suffering a respiratory illness and so wasn't feeling well. I know I wouldn't reach out to someone, if I were ill, but might wait for them to, or not, if I didn't feel like I wanted contact - and so ze went back to the horse and began to pet it, which was a huge release for me energetically and emotionally since I'd been watching this interaction and did in fact know what this horse wanted.
Mine though.. I went first, and omg, it was.. wow. I knew that the Arabian who had chosen me would come to me, it was only a matter of time. Ze played around, rolling in the dirt (to which I laughed aloud as it was FUNNY, and I felt the joy of it from zir), eating some grass, trying to engage me. But I wouldn't have any of it.
Instead I simply watched and waited as ze finally came to me, and oh. my. god/dess. it was like shaking hands with myself, with this shining being who had finally decided to just stop playing and be real. Ze was like a puppy in my hands, and we nuzzled and it was just amazing.
I really felt totally at peace there, totally myself, able to move around, and I let the connection play out as long as it would, then left it feeling joyful.
I still hear zir voice in my head, as a guide.
I'm amazed. Absolutely amazed. And yet, it feels right, and totally natural that I would have that sort of connection. Just wow.
There's an AWESOME new tea room nearby home & work - "Ye Olde English Tea Room". Very nicely appointed, with chandeliers, artwork, lace tablecloths, china, silver, cut glass goblets. Cash or check only, which is a bit strange, but I can understand not maintaining a merchant account if you are a struggling new restaurant with such a big investment. There are no more than 10 tables - I'm not sure they can handle more than 20 covers at a time. The staff was very polite and helpful, if a bit busy during their lunch rush on a Friday...there was one server, one kitchen assistant (who also ran food) and one owner/manager/cook. The menu is small, and focuses on traditional specialties like tea, soup, quiche, sandwiches, and homemade scones. Prices are around $10 for a lunch entree, but there are prix fixe items that include tea, an entree, and a scone.
The food was small in portion, but very appropriate for the context. I ordered a broccoli cheese quiche, which came with a side salad of mesclun greens, chopped celery, carrots, grapes, and berries. Another person ordered a ham sandwich, which came with your choice of bread, and with the option for "crust removed". :-) If you order an afternoon tea setup, your homemade scone is served with Devonshire cream, berries, lemon curd, and some other fixings. Their hot tea offerings were loose leaf, and limited to English Breakfast, Traditional Afternoon, Darjeeling, and a fruit/herb blend; they were served in a small china teapot to infuse, and a silver filter was presented for you to use to remove tea leaves as you poured your cup. The ceramic sugar bowl was stocked with sugar cubes, extracted via a small ceramic spoon; the china teacups and saucers were accompanied by small teaspoons. Our milk cup was surprisingly empty, but we did not order any tea appropriate for milk or cream, so I didn't consider it a fault. If you order iced tea, I believe I spied a Publix tea jug - not sure if they are buying their iced tea from across the street or just reusing jugs. My fellow diners all ordered iced tea, and had no complaints (Publix tea is fairly decent).
I ordered a scone to go - they were tasty and sweet, floured well on the outside, with tender raisins inside. Not the best I've ever had (it was a tad doughy, and not very crumbly), but certainly traditional and definitely fresh-baked. Next time I'll have one with the cream & lemon curd.
They have a small child's table near the back, presumably for tea parties - looks like a hoot for a yuppie play date, or for a traditional mother-daughter bonding day. Also toward the back is a grocery shelf of traditional British foodstuffs, sauces, etc.
Well worth the calming atmosphere, polite and unrushed service, traditional flavors, and relaxed clientele. Cash or check only - come prepared. Worth the trouble of spending cash...you won't find tea service like this outside of a 4-star hotel with the surname of Carlton, Astoria, or Seasons.

I Have A Plan A big, fat-headed plan. I found something today. Right now I am just a young-un, too brazen and unskilled and cocksure, but someday I am going to have this award. Not because of the prize money, but because I want to deserve it. Someday (I mean come on! Pierre Berton Award, Pierre Berton!). But man look at that list of winners! This is going to take some work.
Or I could get a reasonable plan instead, hell, any plan. It is the greatest award though, isn't it? It is pretty great.
I do love how at the start of Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, he rips into Herodotus for being a total liar. They both wrote history, though Herodotus was more interested in stories and Thucydides more interested in facts.
Anyway, I was in the middle of drawing the one about Joseph Howe which is decidedly less silly and took a break to draw this one which is totally, one hundred percent silly. Old Greek dudes never said 'fat butts,' but you'll never take my degree away! I hid it.
Normally this fairy prances and turns zir nose up to the air at other people's suggestions - very high spirited, isn't ze? But ze only does that because ze knows that ze is going in the right direction, despite anyone else's concerns.
Toward zir close friends though, ze pays special attention, for they need zir help from time to time, and ze has a special knack for providing that special something.
Things come to zir when they feel like it, which is generally when ze needs them.
Ze has a warm, rich heart center, and a kindness flair which is about an hour, a mile, a day long.
Prone to leaving zirself in the dust in the favor of making a 9-5 job work, though, this fairy should consider more creative uses of zir time. Ze is an -awesome- writer, and not generally those we see often. Yes, ze is a rarity, a rare gem in the rough, one that yells out in bright colors, tosses zir mane with the wind, and generally always knows what ze wants, though not always listening to that.
You're right on, whatever you're doing, just give it time and be patient. I know that isn't a strong character trait for you, but find some deep breathing habits and always have, create, a creative outlet or center for yourself. You may be pleasantly surprised by the results.
Above all else, remember that you are a -dear- child of God and the ever smiling Universe, and this is one of your lives, not all of them. Love what you can, where you are, and see the rest smiling by.
"You're gorgeous, you're a gem, you're a dancing star," ze whispers.
Also, passionately, ze shimmeringly shimmy whispers, "Go you!"
I found that I often go back to the basic false tenant that nations are unnecessary; States are unnecessary. Nations are established to protect the rights of men: these (being appointed by God) are life, liberty and the pursuit of justice. Why do men need rights? All men need rights to counteract the nature of man himself - that is to say we kill, we oppress and we are willing to furthermore establish false justice for ourselves at the cost of injustice for others.
So what makes the tenant false? Sin.
Where there is no sin among men there is no need for human rights. It would be a moot point indeed because all would be equal with regard to every individuals state of being. That is to say all would be in relation to God taking direction from the source of all creation and living in harmony with his brother - no matter how different in appearance that brother might be.
Let all be one in God for eventually all will be one in death.
I say this not because it is a bad thing - although I imagine death for some not to be a picnic - rather I say this to be a witness of those views which I have found to be true.
I was totally unsure why this particular fairy wanted a say, partly because it's not how I've been drawing them lately. This was in fact how I was first drawing them, with the wings like infinity signs rotated and the arms and legs reaching down, to "touch the earth gently, lightly, sweet kisses of rainfall."
I always think of these kinds of fairies as counselors, those who touch the earth gently, who hold other people's sorrows and create a space to interact with love and touching, those places, I do mean, not physically. But it can be physical also!
These didn't have crowns or so much heaven energy going on because, very simply, they were embodying it and bringing their energy "down" or into earth to help others, to assist others in their own development.
This is a powerful, very interesting fairy for belenen because ze really, really ought to be a counselor. Ze has the energy, good gosh ze does! for it. Ze has the warmth, the strength of personality, foresight and hindsight, and a superb knack for intuition and insight.
Ze is also constantly looking for ways to be of assistance to others. Yet, perhaps most importantly, ze knows how to take care of zirself, how to engage in nourishing, nurturing relationships and how to fill zirself with lots of good and wonderful things.
Simply put, ze is an awesome humming being and I think the fairy came up to show that even (even, ze cries, any step is as important as this!).. well ok then, this was among the first fairies I drew so they ARE important, quite important, as it was through these and letting these spill onto paper that I gained confidence and definitely went into TRANCE modes because of it.
Yes, these fairies are important, incredibly blissful and blessing full.
This fairy has a LOT going on. Ze is seriously rockin' out into the celestial space. Ze really enjoys flying, flying outside of zir head that is. A fantastic imagination here.
Grounded and radiant are what I get here, a total openness to new things, and a definite understanding of the world around zir.
There's something else though, an extreme timidity, perhaps, in stretching the toes to new heights? Trying new things kinda scares zir, which is of course understandable, as that is a very human (humming!) fear, but try to look at it this way.. the fairies are -always- there, and they're holding your hands constantly. "Incessantly," they say.
Remember that you have all the help you need, all the resources, and you have loved ones and friends around you. Ask the fairies for help. I sense a definite release and relief if you allow your fairy godmother to take over and handle the rest.
Above all else, keep cool. BREATHE. Remember that you're not alone, that you have the infinite wisdom and divine, infinite love within yourself. Try and find someone who reminds you of that, but I think writing in your journal might help. This is a period of intense transformation, so give yourself the time and space that you need to let that happen.
You're in the right place, right in the middle of something big. Acknowledge that, and simply breathe into the space that you are. You're right on.
Oh, and you know what? Don't be afraid to take chances. Sure there are risks involved, but your heart knows -exactly- where it wants to go. Let it take you there.
ee, oo now I feel the chillbumps.
You're amazing.. has anyone told you that recently? Consider this your final warning that you are a beautiful, luscious volcano about to take place. Be yourself and all things good and beautiful will storm into your arms, demanding to know why you haven't seen them until now.
Seriously, the universe is considering dumping everything good into your lap. Let it.
An Update (maybe) God Damn it Kate Beaton, first you ask us for money and then you don't update for like a week! What kind of tomfoolery is this?
I know! I am a scoundrel! I seem to have been poppingup in some other places instead, but will have comics soon. At present I am working on a one about Joseph Howe, which is going to please maybe three people from Halifax. I cannot help it, he is my faaavorite! (he is so great)
I have gotten a lot of feedback about the shirts (thanks so much to those who purchased something!) and wanted to say this- if it happens that another shirt comes out, yes almost certainly it will have to do with the historical comics. Likely what will happen is that I will post ideas here instead of just unveiling them. But it's all speculation right now because I don't know yet what's going to happen! The response has been overly generous though, thanks dudes, as always I am at your service.
Lastly, lord thunderin' would you believe a new website is in the works, one with an rss feed and everything.
This fairy is a messenger of healing, a nanny, if you will. Ze is there (oops, I almost said "she", ze giggles) to hold you in the light, because remember, you don't have to do it all. The fairies are more than happy, in fact, WAITING to help you in all your troubles. Seriously! (or jokingly, ze says, looking thoughtfully at zir shoes dangling down)
This fairy has a great deal of playfulness about it, with streamers of liveliness radiating, and thick wings of motherhood, wisdom, caring, and wide open arms.
This fairy reminds us that we are taken care of, always. These beings are here to help us, in whatever way, no matter how big or small we may desire it.
In other words, go for it! Ask them to help you and see what happens. Or rather, as they say, FEEL it.
And, because ze, sistahraven requested it, I drew zir baby too.
OMG wow, this fairy is the most intense one I think I've ever drawn. LIFE, SPIRIT, YELLING, HAVING FUN, all seem to shout from zir. Not just that but WHEEEEE life!
This came so bursting from the page that I found myself shaking with laughter and joy, and so incredibly awed to be a part of this little one's life. And that fairy is so totally in bliss! Wow!
A totally open heart, totally radiating this awesome energy, oh yes! When they say childlike, this is the kind of energy which simply has no bounds, no rules, just is.
Thank you, sistahraven for asking me to draw zir! I am so incredibly blessed by this being's presence, you have no idea! Wow, I'm in awe of this energy.. it's just like watching a baby, zir, just cooing and awing and generally being in love with the life and beauty and pure love that is zir.
This is about slipping through life. No effort whatsoever. Powerful energy healing too. There are notes written by the windowsill, graceful hand touches through the window panes, scented roses sent directly to your door.. you're definitely a romantic, with a touch for the rain.
There's a sense of steadiness in the water here, no going against the grain but instead welcoming changes. Now even if this doesn't -sound- like you, let it be. Let it sift through you and find that warm amazing nugget of core self that is your beautiful, amazing, raw energetic, totally formed and knows-what-it-wants-to-do self.
This might be a time for some searching, because you've got the stability to do it. Or rather, letting yourself let "stuff" come through (and we say "stuff" because this is all information to be downloaded from the fairies about what next to do with your life and what you enjoy, that sort of thing.
One thing - be careful with yourself. Watch what you spend your energy on and be sure that these things and people are nourishing -you-. Loving others is a natural gift and tendency for you, but loving yourself may come a little more difficult. Ask the fairies for help with this - you can experience some amazing tender love from them.
You're wonderful and loved and cherished, and exalted by all the heavenly realms everywhere. Give yourself into the applause of being, because you are, just, you know, fantastic.
Confidence and self-assuredness stream, flipping POUR from this fairy. Totally energized, totally AWAKE is the characteristic here.
Totally aware and full of glee and just KNOWING.
The crystal in zir heart is.. just glowing and melting and totally pouring out such profound love for her WINGS - ze loves to fly and knows that, and yes, you will find that you can fly one day. You already are, on the humming being (human being) plane!
Well darn you, you're doing just fine.
*giggles*
You're amazing, what can I say?
(and a big ole hug from the universe too, which you already feel anyway)
and I just heard, "Way to go, indigo child (well, person)!"
Gratitude post I am so incredibly blessed by all these beings. I want to express my deepest heart gratitude to everyone who has asked and will ask for a fairy drawing and interpretation. This has been, and continues to be! one of the most amazing experiences of my life. It's continuing, I know that for sure. I just felt the need to stop and take a breather and simply publicly THANK YOU for making this all happen, for being parts of this giant enormous explosion of YAYness in my life.
Drawing these felt, and still feels, wonderful and a fantastic way of connecting to others, most of whom I knew and some of whom I'd never have known existed (and I'm so glad you're here!) except through this miracle of a wonder gift, but doing the interpretation is taking me onto a whole new level of appreciation for my intuition and my own vision space.
These faeries are so amazing, so delightful, so full of joy and fun to play with. Doing this has made, or allowed! me to feel the most content I've ever felt in a long time, in a very deep, spiritually, emotionally, psychically nurturing and nourishing way. mmm yum.
Thank you, to thehotpinkheat for starting me off on this. I really needed that nudge and you were right there to provide it.
Thank you, to belenen for -continuing- to be the inspiration that you are. Really, without your strength and constant assurance, hell, without your energy and the visit with you, this would not have been possible.
Thank you, to shioneh for being the most wonderful sweet and loving person ever. You have tremendously helped me grow and be nourished and nurtured in our conversations. I value that ever so much.
To all of you wonderful guests of honor, friends and dear ones, an invitation with no expiration date is here for all of you.
That feels so good to put out there. Thank you God, the Universe, the faeries, angels, devas, helpers, THANK YOU.
This fairy speaks such giggly energy! Ze almost can't contain zirself and so finds zirself constantly spilling out all zir joy in the world, over and over again. Ze is perfectly aware of the abundance law of the universe, meaning that there will always be enough for anyone who asks for it. All our needs are taken care of, ze whispers.
Some serious, or giddy! heaven energy is going on here, and ze knows full well that ze is a child of the universe and a divine one who breathes the starry air dust of the ancestors and the dinosaurs and all things beautiful because really and truly, all things are beautiful.
Ready for the world, as the world is for zir, and full of toe tapping delight!
Simply put, this affirmation is a blessing, a treat to behold, a beautiful giggling reminder that this beautiful person has chosen zir path and that ze is full of not-knowing (really the best way to be, because then everything flows your way, or flowers, if you prefer that) and the spontaneous, abundant nature of mother nature.
You want to know one secret? You're perfect. In every way, the universe has seen to that. It didn't even really need to - you were born that way.
Gardening Day I took today off from work, mainly because I've been working too darn hard and have accrued my maximum amount of vacation days. I also intended to catch up on some gardening, but I only got through some of it.
I did finally kill my arugula plant - it went to flower about two months ago, and stopped producing leaves. DEAR LORD... a single arugula plant produces a ton of seed pods! Check it out:
That's about two cups of pods! After they dry, I'm gonna be able to plant a metric ton of arugula.
My cilantro also went to flower about two months back, and I've left it alone to do its thing. ALL ITS BRANCHES ARE NOW COVERED IN CORIANDER. This is spectacular... I can't wait to dry the pods and use them in the kitchen. All from a $3 plant I bought & planted three months ago.
[See all those little balls? Those are coriander!]
After three months, the chamomile has finally gone to flower - I think it needed more warmth than it had back in February. I'm not sure the plant will yield much more, since it demands a bit of water and the rain has been in rather short supply. Still, I managed to dry some flowers and leaves, enough for a few cups of tea soon.
The mint is still kicking butt, and the feverfew is quite prolific. I'm going to dry some feverfew and mint to make into a tea...they'll be a good amount of that, given the amount each plant has produced.
I think I'm getting back to a happier place - the last few weeks have been rough. A little gardening and cooking will cheer me up, though.
This fairy is about peace of mind. Resting, dreaming. Even as I write this, closing my eyes is the best way to receive what ze has to say. Energy in dreaming, as belenen has posted about recently, is where ze processes most of zir's monumental events, whether they appear to be so or not to others. (Remember the veil, ze wants to shimmer whisper, remember the veil of illusion surrounding being alone and doing things that others don't as a mark of judgment against yourself. Don't be afraid to let things into your heart, because that is where the greatest healing takes place. Don't be afraid to breathe through your whole body and FEEL the breathing of angels and fairies right along with you.)
This is a time for a lot of energy, a lot of joy like energy currents running through you. High vibrations and spiritual awakenings. And most importantly, your connections with others.
Wavy legs and arms are quite the best approach to any life situation - flexibility, trust, patience in the process, enormous love and respect, and honor, which you have all of. You are not rigid but sink and dance and twirl in the rhythms of your own life, meshing with others when you see fit and not when they don't match you. And that's ok!
A time for surrender into the moment, a time to open up to your true potential for loving and joy, to yourself and to others.
There's also a hint of preparation, like the gifts that you've acquired this far will greatly assist you in the next stage of your life, whatever you choose that to be (hee, and we know what that is, waves at shioneh).
*giggles*
You are great, wonderful, and full of awesomeness. Joy is pouring from you, no doubt about it. You're ready to put your mind to anything! And let your heart play.
