Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame. ~William Butler Yeats, “The Land of Heart’s Desire,” 1894 Fairies are invisible and inaudible like angels.  But their magic sparkles in nature.  ~Lynn Holland The fairy poet takes a sheet Of moonbeam, silver white; His ink is dew from daisies sweet, His pen a point of light. ~Joyce Kilmer Spread your wings and let the fairy in you fly!  ~Author Unknown Nothing can be truer than fairy wisdom.  It is as true...

To be continually added to and updated…. Quotes are my heroes. It is my assertion that all great spiritual truth and wisdom is universal, and recycled through many of us, through many of our words and ideas and deeds. Quotes capture, illuminate, and spread the good news like wildfire. I have collected quotes on endless bits of papers scattered throughout the rooms and hallways of my heart and life for as long as I can remember. Here: have some. Jen “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupery (from...

“The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hands.” -Frederic Lawrence Knowles Tonight, I walked on the beach and the moon enchanted me with her twinkling luster of moondust bespeckling the quiet waters. I stood still to take in the captivating image of her, Lady Luna, just smiling and shining down upon everything in sight. From where I planted my feet in the cool evening sand, the moonlight dusted a path from shore to Heaven and I felt sure that if I tried, I could tread across the glow cast on the water and arrive safely in the moon’s embrace.  Her soft, wide, sparkling...

There’s nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. ~Walter Wellesley “Red” Smith Just a few articles up and a few days into Soul Candy as a live and pulsing site out there for the world to taste and see, I’m sitting down to write an official hello and welcome.  Hello, and welcome! No matter what anybody tells you or tries to hide behind, there is something incredibly, seductively voyeuristic about reading someone else’s intimate thoughts about life, love, and the aethers of spirit.  Parallel to this, there is an equally exhibitionist-like...

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. -Unknown. Being a professional writer and having the internet connection go ka-put in the middle of a lucidly pleasant writing session is a bit like having someone startle you while dancing in your underwear when you think nobody is there to “catch” you.  It throws me off and I have to plug back in–literally, but creatively, too–and rebuild momentum after an accidental bout of intellectual backpeddling. This...

“People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.” -Douglas Yates There is enough talk of love in this world as something delicate, beautiful, and poised, love that is declared by vows in a church, announced by a quaint Valentine’s day card, described as a delicate flower (usually a rose). If you are like me, then this is not enough to constitute the kind of love you seek. Though these things are certainly components of love, they are perhaps not totally akin to the stoked embers from the fire within a heart like yours or mine. Neat, tidy, pre-planned mainstream “love”...
