Making Friends with a Fairy May Be Easier Than You Think
Some people blink twice when we say,
It's possible to befriend a fairy.
But perhaps it is simpler than you think.
This is one way we like to try.
Step One: Say Hello
Gently introduce yourself.
Just say your name softly into the air.
Then ask:
What is your name?
Wait.
Don't push.
Just listen.
Fairies may answer in quiet moments,
when your thoughts pause —
like a soft voice slipping between your own.
Step Two: Speak and Listen Differently
Try speaking out loud about what you're thinking.
Yes, like talking to yourself.
Then, when you've finished,
try listening without expecting an answer.
Fairies don't necessarily shout.
Perhaps they whisper where the mind grows quiet.
It can become a little dance between sound and silence,
between you and something ancient, playful, and kind.
A Final Note
You don't have to believe that a fairy is there.
You can simply be curious about the possibility.
They love to be invited,
but never chased.
