in passing

Perhaps in passing we do not reach the end,

but are given the opportunity to stand atop a peak and look in both directions.

We can look back at the gifts we have been given,

the challenges we have overcome,

and the beauty that surrounded us.

We can look forward into the light, into the mystery

and with the strength of our loved ones deep in our hearts

we can begin our next journey.

where the fairy house lays

it's magic. 

magic in the bits of tree bark, magic in the perfect foundation, 

the glistening stones, the silver moss, 

and most of all the magic lies in the mystery. 

the fairies represent the presence of something more, something mystical, 

something worth believing in.
