Walking gently on the forest
floor the hidden kingdoms in nature will ever so subtly let me enter their
world. I feel the joy awaiting me in the silence of the forest, as my vision
shifts to include a kingdom of beings that make their home in nature.
In between the cracks of the woodland lives a world full of wonder. For
me it is where my passion for life and magic lives. Join me on a journey
through this picture taken of Kauai's magical world. My feet touched the
soft ground; twigs and fallen leaves crackle, releasing into the air afragrance that opens a door to another realm. I hesitate for only a moment
to ask Laka, the Lady of the Forest, to guide me through her domain.
Slowly my consciousness shifts to a world vibrating with life. The wind
carries the voices of the ancient stone people, in a language beyond
words. Suddenly I feel something inside of me connect with a presence
that lay ahead of me on the trail. As I come closer, my eyes are guided
to a spot that is covered with all sorts of native plants. Tree branches
that have fallen to the ground are now the home of the moss people. My
eyes become feelers for the magic that is in the air. I know something
is about to happen. A breeze stirs the leaves of the plants, carrying
with it new fragrances in the air. I feel that a veil is lifting over the
forest. Looking in the direction of what you see in the picture … a
doorway opens to a kingdom that vibrates at a frequency faster than ours,
bit it is just as real. I have time to take only one picture before the
forest shifts again, and the forest people continue along their way to
a destination known only to them.
What I saw for that fraction of a second is what you see in the picture.
In the foreground are the moss people. In the center is a fairy starting
to materialize in the light. In the top right corner are two green wizards
clothed in long robes and pointed hats. There tree spirits also in this
picture, but I will let you discover them for yourself.
Sometimes a camera can assist in slowing down for a fraction of a second
the speed at which these beings travel. Then they are able (if they
choose) to make themselves known to us in a picture. Taking pictures of
places you are drawn to is one way of heightening your senses. Most
likely they are wanting to communicate with you and will appear in the
photo. Another thing that has worked for me is to sit still on the
forest floor, letting the form of what I see blend and shift until my
vision relaxes, allowing me to notice a world hidden behind the form
revealing itself.
Or they could speak to me in the way the sun dances on a particular
spot, or in the movement of the leaves when the wind has stilled its
voice.
We each have a very unique way of communicating with nature's hidden
kingdom. Let the energy guide you in your adventure, and may the Forest
be with you!
