Hear Your Heart's Song

I recently rediscovered, with much depth, my passion for "the fairy world".
This excitement is intertwined with the love for being vibrant and healthy. These two
subjects go hand in hand with the collection & use of medicinal herbs and living as near to the
earth as possible.
Today as we are approaching new times ahead in which our perspectives get to shift far beyond our scope of imagination. "Enjoy the ride", I have been saying, a phrase that taught me to shift my perspectives back in 2007 while living on a farm in Hawaii, (WWOOFing-"willing worker on organic farm") Find your Body Balanced in Bliss every mind-full moment! Healing in your own way, fishing, sewing, walking, house-cleaning, doll making, cooking or whatever it may be for you. Most of all, life is not only about just "you". Once you are stable, give it away! Assist someone near, maybe a stranger. Every day is a chance to give back the love you found in you!

I am listing a poem from an artist who was a self taught while being educated at home because of an illness as a child. Her Flower Fairy books were published in 1923.
The following is from, "Flower-Fairies of The Winter", by Cicely Mark Barker.
The most amazing illustrations and sweet stories attached. I am inspired for making more "healing faery dolls" with use of her illustrations to guide and herbs to teach our next generations how to be independent and vibrant with health naturally!

The Shepherd's-Purse Fairies song:

Though I'm poor to human eyes
Really I am rich and wise.
Every tiny flower I shed
Leaves a heart-shaped purse instead.

In each purse is wealth indeed--
Every coin a living seed.
Sow the seed upon the earth--
Living plants shall spring to birth.

Silly people's purses hold
Lifeless silver, clinking gold;
But you cannot grow a pound
From a farthing in the ground.

Money may become a curse:
Give me then my Shepherd's Purse.
