The Adventures of Ruby...... The scent of faeries - they do exist!

"Ruby could walk for hours in the bush, find a mossy log and just sit there listening to the sounds of birds, insects and the wind talking to the eucalyptus trees. She could smell the soft nectar of the flowers,  the warm sunshine happy on her shoulder mmmm how lucky she felt .  She imagined or did not imagine that faeries and other strange little creatures lived in the crevices and dark cool spots she came across while exploring.  Cool air would all of a sudden lick at her ankles and little blue stars would sparkle before her eyes. So quickly the stars would come and go, but come and go they did, many times. It was the faeries.  She could hear them whispering and somehow knew that she needed permission from them to enter their sanctuaries. Ruby would move on as she did not know the rules when it came to such things.   All she knew is that for some reason they were letting her know they do exist by showing themselves as blue sparkle stars.   Funny, isn't it strange that the mermarlins showed themselves to Ruby all of the time. But no the faeries were much more secretive and would not let her see their forms. When she left the cool spots the air grew thick and warm again and the blue stars disappeared. That’s how she knew it was true. They did exist!"

This is a paragraph from the book I am writing based on my childhood.

I have been recalling many things from when I was a little girl.  I think it has something to do with my mother being in her twighlight time.    We have this special connection.   I remember something then she brings it up on the phone just as I recall in a dream or early morning meditation.  Pop there it is clear as the time I was experiencing it the first time around.

I believe childhood to be a magical time.   It is an amazing era of technology, yes kids are brighter in a  cerebral mental way, however it is nature that is the best teacher, when it comes to the imagination and the good feeling our body gets when in the great outdoors.

Today I am working on a scent for children, reminiscent of my childhood.   Roots, firs, flowers and magic. Scents that linger in my mind from the days in the Aussie bush with Ruby...my alter ego.




It feels good to work with the inner child!
