Finding Peace

From the Hidden Realms Tarot, the Hanged Man; from the Heart of Faerie, Bright Spark:

I’ve learned that waiting is the most difficult bit.

― Paulo Coelho

This fairy has learned that when things aren't working out as planned or people aren't doing what he thinks they should be doing, he needs to stop trying to force and control them. Instead, he climbs a tree full of ivy and hangs upside down to change his perspective. When his body and mind relax, he begins to notice birds singing in the branches and hear the rush of water nearby. He releases his agendas and realizes that there's a lot of life going on that he can participate in if he will stop using up his energy in useless ways. Bright Spark brings inspiration, a small flicker that's easy to miss if we're distracted. He can guide us in what we can do while we wait for things to change. 

I've been visiting my mom for the past few days. We went to Fancy Girl Farms, which has a restaurant (that serves fresh from the farm vegetables), coffee shop, and a lovely, landscaped area to sit and relax in outside. We also visited Bell's Daylily Farm, a beautiful place on a lake that is so peaceful and inviting (from which the photos are from).
