Elementally Speaking - Q&A

Q: How can man connect with a Nature Spirits (aka fairy) without a visual image?

Ah, now there is a question. Mankind has an amazing imagination. I have seen and heard it hundreds of time. Many stories have been told under my branches… of ancient menehunies and other beings that live among the plants and hills here on these islands. They are described as small people who look this way and that. Their habits are described and their voices are imagined. Many others tell of spirits they have seen with wings of gold or beings that sing in the sea in the moonlight.
All is well and good but in reality it is the mind of man that compensates for all things unknown. Be it the pickle that sits in the crock unseen by the human eye or the goddess that slumbers in the volcano above…all are imagined until they are seen. Thus a pickle that one says is green, another may see as white or even blue. Thus it is that a Nature Spirit can be seen the same. Some see them as the bejeweled goddesses that float ever freely through the night sly. Others see them as gnarly beings that cover themselves with earth. Again, what one desires shall come to those that search.
If one stares at me, the Banyan, one can imagine the eyes of a deer, the snarl of the beast, or the sleepiness of a child at bedtime. For all things are as one imagines. Thus it is so for us as well. I also can imagine you as a vicious being with dark clothing or a princess of light. All things are possible to all. This is good, is it not? For to recognize things in others, no matter what type of being, whether good or bad, are lessons needed to begin your climb towards truth.
Thus it is so.
