      <title>Questions for the Faery Kind and Ron</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/9cde0990-ab18-49ca-a1db-f5c16d3d3080</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we can ask questions to the Faeries, Elves, Gnomes, Pixies, and all  of them-- as well as where we can ask Ron too.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have a few questions that I will ask first-     &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Other People's Encounters:  The Faeries are Here</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/cd3a42ed-5482-4443-90ae-c8edc5239a71</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I don't want to post any more threads other than this one, as this Forum is about Ron's Ongoing Experiences with the Faeries who have much more to teach him,and all of us on this planet.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But, I couldn't resist sharing this encounter I found on paranormal.about.com, as it reminds me of the Fae's who Ron is encountering for some time now.

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Fairy Wings
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This took place in the woods near our house in Iowa. I was out walking around on the grounds of the land that we live on around nine or so at night. It was a very clear night, and the stars were out. I was upset about something earlier in the day, so I wasn't paying much attention to where I was walking. I was at the edge of the forest, when I noticed a bright red-blue light hovering softly in the wintry sky. At first, I thought it was a helicopter or an airplane taking off from the town nearby. But as I watched, the light hovered and zipped around the tops of the trees for awhile. It came closer to me, and as I watched, frozen to the ground, I saw an indistinct human shape that had alternating blue and red wings. I say blue and red because it was a very brilliant color of white that is indescribable, its wings moving like that of a humming bird. I could even hear a soft whisper of sound coming from it. I watched as long as I could, even ran after it, but it soon flew off into the forest, shyly hiding behind trees until it was gone. It seemed curious, but not ready to come very close.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I went home and kept what I saw to myself for awhile. But one clear night as I was walking home, I saw the faerie tracing its way through the tops of the trees again. I pulled my family outside, and we all watched with breathless wonder. No helicopter could move the way this small light moved. We all agreed that it must be a faerie or an angel or something to that effect. I saw the faerie only twice more that winter. This winter, the faerie has appeared again, and it has become a familiar, if distant friend. It has almost become a normalcy; on clear, beautiful nights, I can see it traipsing its way through the tops of the trees in the forest next to our house. I've considered taking pictures or filming it, but I feel that I would be somehow violating a trust. It is very beautiful - and believe it or not, my family and I have seen it numerous times. There might even be a perfectly reasonable explanation for it all. But how do you explain five people seeing the same thing numerous times? You could call it paranormal, but I'd call it wonderful. - Sade R."&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Dear Andrina</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/af01a017-e9ec-4e53-80a6-4a3877a50c51</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;A resident stopped me this morning at C3 for a brief conversation. Trudy said that she was born in Oakland but followed the theatre, mostly in southern California. She said, come closer so I can look at you. I leaned in and she commented how hansom I was and that Hollywood could use my presence on stage. We talked for a bit more and I asked her if she liked to read books, because I was going to offer her one of the books I had Authored. Oh my, yes I do. Then I mistakenly said, what about Faeries? Now, she was looking over her glasses and down her nose; Faeries? You mean like those little things? Yes, I held my fingers about two inches apart and said, yes little winged Faeries. Are you crazy? She added this; you have got to be kidding me! You are some kind of a nut aren't you? Well I felt at that point that maybe I was a little crazy but I know what I know and I know what I have seen. So, I excused myself by saying, " I have to meet the electrician now Trudy, so please have a great day" I guess the Humankind just is not ready for me and the kind of truth I bring to them on a daily basis, even those preparing to leave this place. You conversation with me returned like a flood of reminders saying, "stay in your own vibration Ron, and do not lower yourself to help those who cannot be helped. Again, Andrina thanks for the chat. Be well and blessings,&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>A New Voice this morning</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/61522a10-3310-46d2-9bb8-b8a1906d8be6</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Seth says get bust preparing for the inevitable (This is relayed by another of the same Elfin Clan). Far too many of the humankind are playing the wait and see game and this will not be beneficial when the vibrational change occurs. It is difficult right now for others to hear you and they do not understand the content of what you say. Soon they will not see you because you will be living in another vibration. They will wonder where you went but life will continue here in this Third Dimension, earthquakes, floods and other worldly disasters will change the topography of this great place in the Universe. Understand that this “is tomorrow” and not next year or maybe the year after. Time has run on the Human experience and there is no point in time remaining. Either you are of the light or you are not. Either you do battle at night when you sleep for the light or you do not. This is a time of great upheaval for the Humankind and changes are upon you. You will live in the Fifth Dimension or you may not live at all. Yes, your light body will continue to live in what you know as the ethereal but there will be no substance unless you choose now to be of the light or to be of the dark. These are your only choices Human, so know this and do not be surprised when the wrath is upon you. We welcome you to join the fight for the light because in the end, that is all there will be. A new voice has arisen this morning and it is of Herman, meaning “Man in the Army”. And he concludes with “Elfin in the Army of Light”.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Ron Cordes Confiding in another human being can be a very therapeutical thing. It can also be a barometer as to where that person lies in the evolution of the vibration of change. One may think they are of the light and enlightened when actually they hover about in the dark recesses of the human ego and fear. To discuss with others what you do not own is not of the light but contrary to the light.Write a comment... Karen and I have announced that we will be selling "A FAERYTALE". I am in the process of completing another book and have several speaking engagements booked. Although we are planning on doing other things we will be remaining in the area due to prior obligations. Please understand that the store has done very well in this downturned economy and this is an understatement. The stores' success is all in thanks to you.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Merelena, through the eyes of a Sylph</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/73c5f710-6217-4934-946f-fdfa3e3a7167</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;We ventured out on the highways yesterday, the Fourth of July for the first time in many years. It was an interesting trip as we observed the best in humanity on the roadways. People were driving way too fast, cutting others off and going along their merry way to destinations unknown. My Faery Friends laugh at our behavior and they shake their little heads in disgust and distain for what we have become. Don't get them wrong, they love us greatly, even more than they are willing to admit at times. But somehow this love turns to disbelief of the way we act towards each other.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Merelena, a little Sylph and named sake after "Merlin the Great" of Welsh literature tends to agree with this but she would like to describe her day yesterday with her Human family. “We drove to a far away place where there were beautiful water fountains at the Red Hawk Casino in the foothills of the gold country in Sacramento County. It was my first time to spend the day with Ron and Karen so I looked forward to this with great anticipation. Upon our arrival in the car we used the casino’s self serve drink area to get a glass of lemonade, with just a couple of ice cubes the way I like it. We found a nickel keno machine and there we sat playing until Ron got mad that he wasn't winning.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The best part of the day was the live band on a nearby stage that played a little country music but a real good string of Chicago Blues. It got my feet tapping and my wings fluttering as I was able to dance on the stage without being noticed by the loud and boisterous humans that had a little too much to drink. There were a couple of human girls who thought they were the life of the party as they bumped and grinded each other in front of the liquor bar to the beautiful music. They were kind of silly but entertaining and they were not hurting anyone, at least they were having fun.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We left late and I could have flown home much faster than Karen was driving but I liked the night drive with the moon roof open. My hair blew in the wind reminding me just how beautiful life really is. Ron got relaxed about half way home a quit worrying about the money he had thought he had wasted in the slot machines. He is silly like most humans when it comes to money. You should enjoy the tangibles while you have them. Once you leave this existence there is no more of the things you like to collect. Please live and love your life because there is only one, no more coming back for anyone. Love Merelena”&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I “am” at this time, and I am here as you speak of this sleep we have endured for centuries. In the experience of the Humankind we are empty and we long for the love of that which created us, I relate to this as the Creator of All Things” you may call it what you wish and understand it to be the same. We say insight is the way to fight the blindness cast upon on the religious communities that would do us harm. And insight is what we will need to approach the veil of change that is lifting slowly.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As your brother I ask you to look at those around you and discern their point of origin and lineage. If you feel they are of the Faery then you must be brave enough to make that statement to them. This is a risk, and at times there is a cost attached to this information that you will give them. They may walk away from you in great distain and at times you are even called their synonyms for crazy or badly informed. You must understand that this will happen not it will not happen with everyone.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;All dimensions have incarnated here in the third dimension at this time of higher vibration to help raise the total amount of light needed to penetrate the veil. There are Faeries, including Elves, Gnomes and Trolls. There are Dragons, beings of Myth, Galactic Energies, and Angelics and there will soon be Ascended Masters in body. We must be leery of all Galactic Energy although many are here to help there are those that are not. You must learn to recognize the energies and listen to your guides as they tell you who not to trust.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This may sound harsh to those who believe in a better world. A place without hate, greed, jealousy and all the other gifts cast upon the Earth energies by the sciences of the ET long ago. I cannot say what is upon the horizon for us as the Human-ELFIN or Human-any Faery but I know great change comes from strife and resistance. The Faeries tell me, we “Must work for the best and prepare for the worst”. I want to believe that the light will see us through to our homeland of Faery in the Fifth Dimension but I cannot be Pollyanna about the future.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Today by my side is Chealsa, a winged sprite approximately 2100 years old. The meaning of her taken name is English but very Old English and in this, it is the meaning “River Landing Place”.  In Scottish she says she is known as the “Brave” or “Ship Island” hence here heritage as a Sprite. She would like to welcome us home when the time comes but for now she has volunteered to be one of our beacons to light the path of love and spirituality.  &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Thinking of taking my sites down</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/510e3e86-1d0c-4c14-ac61-0920033e582b</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;So to all those who think I'm insane, raise your hands, and I'll take ALL my so-called "delusional" experiences down. I've been called this recently by someone whose experiences are just as strange and unbelievable as mine. It's happened before with others as well, and I'm getting sick of it. So does anybody else think I'm crazy? Anyone else who thinks I'm making stuff up? That I'm living in a dreamworld and it's all in my head? Let me know now and I'll take everything down I've ever written. I'll never talk about anything otherworldly again so people will think I'm "normal". (Especially YOU, Sheta Kay, Budd Hopkins, Debbie Kauble, Michelle LaVigne, Denise Twiggs and anyone else who questions my sanity or good/evil of my energy field)&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;It is apparent that the mainstay of the Humankind has a difficult time accepting that they do not occupy the Mother Earth by themselves. It is no surprise to us as a race that your arrogance continues at epidemic proportions. You look around and see yourselves as you wish to distinguish yourselves and not as we witness you.  We move much faster than you in terms of your sciences and your molecules. In this it is impossible for most of you to see us with the eye alone. The invention of the digital camera and the process of freezing a point in time have allowed some of you to see us in our energy or orb form. Of course, most deny even this as proof of our existence by declaring these are spots of moisture and dust particles.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For those of you of the human science we would like to offer you the opportunity to investigate using your scientific equipment to measure our existence if you wish. We will work with Ron to open up ourselves to your probes if you have the courage to do so. It is time that you step forward and use this challenge to benefit all of humanity. In this we believe the earth will gain in this knowledge as well. ron@afaerytale.com&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Samson Says June 07, 2009</title>

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Beginning and near to 1995, there was and has been a gradual shift in spiritual awareness for many.  Slowly, during this time the Humankind has been arriving at the breakfast table of life to feed from the smorgasbord of information that is being provided. This information comes from the cosmos and it comes from within the very core of the earth. The earthen information pipeline is filled with answers from the other dimensions of which there are twelve are in existence. Of the twelve there are the plants and animals, the dimension of Humankind, the dimension of transition (dimension of the dead for animals and Humankind to share), the dimension of Faery, the dimension of Myth, the dimension of Dragons, the dimension of the ET’s (5th-8th dependant on their level of spiritual consciousness) there are others on these three dimensions but I do not profess to know you or what they are. Other notable levels are the dimension of Angelics and the dimension of the Ascended Masters.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Through meditation and prayer the Humankind has been able to tap into much of the information that is being provided. We would like to see this information shared equally but as you are well aware there are many that would like to control this information and dole it to the masses for personal gain. This is a standard of doing business in your dimension because there are leaders and followers. The followers usually do not like to work hard so they are willing to pay with monetary means to get this information from the leaders. Unfortunately, many leaders over charge and use what they know to control or to gain power over little groups. The religious aspect of your society is a prime example of this feel for the need to control the masses. The star energy people are doing this right to you in many ways by saying if you want to know the secrets we will tell you if you pay us and do as we say. They say that there has to be an exchange of energy or that if you don’t pay, and then it doesn’t mean anything. No my friends of the Humankind, it is called control. We on in the Dimension of Faery advocate that the information is free and available to anyone who would look inside themselves.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As we approach the time of great change the other dimensions are weighted by the arrogance and thoughtlessness of the Humankind. We have stood in observation for hundreds of years following the Dark Ages all the while wishing the best for this species that was created from a rouge science. Greed, fear and arrogance were the gifts of this science and burdens for the Humankind to shed. Unfortunately this has not been achieved. There are those of the Humankind that talk of journey to the underworld where they find us, the Faery, and this is not correct. We have begun our journey of vibration long before the time of the great indiscretion of the Church.  We travel at a much faster rate than you because our molecules move faster, how we could be behind you is beyond belief.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is a sad for us to acknowledge that there may not be enough light in the entire Universe to awaken the whole of Humankind, this sleeping disfigurement of a life form. Rest assured that when the end comes for your dimension, and it will be soon, we will be here to assist you. However, we may not be able to help you if you do not begin your journey now. Of course, as a Soul created by the divine you will live on in some other place, but rest assured it will not be in an incarnated spirit on Mother Earth again. “Cognitive Science” especially Quantum Physics, the majority of the Humankind retains no idea as to what true science holds. Be well and blessings in the next years to follow. Samson&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/8403ee4a-2dc2-45a6-82d4-f3ac89b6cc0c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;This was the night for a sampler plate of lemon muffins, lemon tart and sugar cookies with pink icing and sprinkles. As I awoke a Faery disguised with horns and a pitchfork glided their way in mid air to me and after getting my attention got me to read this important message. “Ron, it is time for us to be off again and thank you for everything you are a true friend, we will see you tonight. Love Plimtens and Marie”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I dozed for a bit, about 40 minutes or so. Upon awaking these words clung to the open air with no apparent strings, “Ron, we are going now, we stayed longer than we first thought to watch something on television. Thank you for everything and we will see you tonight. Love Marie and Plimtens”
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It was then Samson’s turn to visit for the day and he always makes sure I am aware of his presence as I prepare for my morning shower. Telepathically I thank him for being near and he in turn thanks me for letting him be my guide for this day.  He is short of stature, about ten inches and weighing bout three pounds. He loves strawberry waffles but as a typical Faery, he hovers above the morsel in orb form to extract the nutrients and vitamins that give him the energy he so richly deserves for his hard work. He like most gnomes loves us of the Humankind but he finds it most difficult to trust us a race; a race that somewhere along the line has gone totally bonkers.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He reminds me of the days that we shared the gardening duties on this planet. Days gone by that we were more than friends, we were brothers. Following a nuclear winter brought about by an arrant meteor, the Faeries were transported to this planet to become the caretakers of the merging tropical splendor. Not long after, 800 years or so, their cousins the Hobbit, were also brought to the earth to assist with this endeavor. Living in peace and harmony was easy for these beings as they embraced their situation with each breath.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;65,000 plus years ago two distant star races came to this world to do two exact opposite things. One of the star races was here to observe the inhabitants of this wondrous place and they chose not to interfere with the natural progression of the order. Now the other star race was far different. Their sciences were superior and they felt they needed test subjects in order to further their own planetary needs. Both races resembled one another as tall, seven feet or better, hairless, elongated pointed ears that aim backwards at a slight angle. Long hands and fingers that resembled the angelics but they served a far darker purpose.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;They began to cross their DNA in with the lower life forms and the delivery of the half animal-half human like creatures to this earth began. As they progressed many new species were formed, the fawns, satyrs, mermaids, centaurs to name a few. These beings were transmuted for personal gain that never quite materialized. The last experimentation of note was the taking the most intelligent life form on the planet, the Hobbit, and injecting their star race DNA. The missing link, Humankind, was embodied and written history for this has yet to be fully written.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is known by those of us who have survived what you know as time, that the Hobbit race would be little more than discovering the musket if it had not been for these intrusive meddlers from the stars. 45,000 years ago there was a great disagreement between these two star races and a nuclear war came about. The region known to Humankind as Pakistan, India was engulfed in the flames of an all out nuclear war. The Island now known as Sri Lanka is what remains of the fabled city of Atlantis as it and its million inhabitants slide into the blue of your Indian Ocean. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is but a quick overview of your time and you must understand that your history is about to repeat. Your heritage has delivered you to a place of destruction and shame, a shame that most of you do not realize yet. The mainstay of this shame is the humiliation that you have delivered to Mother Earth and it is non repairable. In the next two years you as a race will begin to see what you have sewn. Your molecules are ever faster and faster with each of your day’s that pass.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is much like the beings of the Star breeding as their molecules sped up on their spiritual quest 2,800 years in the past. They hop scotched from the third dimension to the fourth as the peoples before Christ believed they were in the presence of Gods. There are Star beings, angelics, elementals, dragons and beings of myth that walk among you at this time in your history. Some are here for the good and to guide you towards the light of the creator and simply put, others are not. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You are about to do make the spiritual journey for your soul, stepping from this dimension into the fourth and fifth. Many of you will fail to make this journey because of what you have done to this planet. Others will not make it because your enemy awaits you in the corridor between dimensions. And your enemy will do what ever it must to keep you in the darkness of your arrogance and greed. In the coming days I will share with you what I understand to be the plight of Humankind.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Samson? Do you want to discuss 2012? Is anything going to happen? A lot Ron. We should discuss the possibilities and the probabilities Firstly; we don’t think you should worry too much about the end of the world as predicted by the Mayan Civilization. They were scientist oddly enough but they were worriers like your race of humans. They studied the stars through their sciences and oddly enough they were assisted by star beings. Later they were assimilated into the stars slowly into other galaxies and other worlds. There are remnants still here but again they do not know who they really are. Some are awaking like your friend Homer, from the stars and returning to the stars as we always say. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There are natural disasters aligned and awaiting the shift in the earth’s consciousness such as the earthquakes and tsunamis you fear. They will do their damage but they will do this regardless of the new spiritual consciousness or not. The big thing is the visual aspect of your daily lives. You will begin to see us with ease and the anglics as well. We do not necessarily want this but it is going to happen anyway. Your molecules are speeding up as you know and this changes everything. The world itself is faster and you are faster, this is not your imagination.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Your whole structure is changing to a more gentle and kinder society but there are still many hiccups coming your way. You’re correct to look at man’s history and understand that nothing has happened in changes on your earth without great strife. Again you will have your changes but not without a cost. There will be many lives lost in the process but that is how you are use to doing business. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We on the other hand have gotten past this way of thinking. The dimensions of the others are well briefed on what is coming for you. We can only anticipate with you but cannot interfere. Understand that we will be with you and the others through this great change but it will not be rosy. You are a species of worriers and it is a time to worry. Fear not that the Creator is watching and will be by your side in this time of great turmoil. But he too can only watch. You will know when it is time to protect yourself from your own. You will survive this and so will your children. Not everyone will be this fortunate. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There will be many questions about what is coming. Humans always want to know in advance so there will be no consequence. Rest assured that whatever takes place is meant to be and that we will be here with you. You are not like the rest and there are many like you of the earth that we must protect at all costs and we will do this to the best of our ability. Do not worry for yourself Ron, but worry for those that surround you. Worry for those who have no idea that a better, spiritual day is on the horizon.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;They will need you soon and you in turn will need them. It matters not what is coming in the master plan of the universe it is all about love and peace and in the end it will be “on earth as it is in Heaven.” I take this to heart when I tell you this. I have been assigned to keep you safe and from harms way and I will do my best for you. The others including Seth, Bella and Willa will also be with us as we approach the end, as you know it. 
&lt;br/&gt;Shed tears for humanity because they have not learned. We can only change things when we learn Ron. The Humankind has had many opportunities to learn the lessons of the universe but instead they have become entrenched in hate, greed and fear. There is a time for the growth of souls and this will be one of those times. We cannot put years on this process as you but it happens every so often and now it is time.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you wish to use this information to help teach others you may. I am here for you and I am willing to share what I can. We are here to love you and Karen and for you to love us. There is no doubt that you understand our message because you two prove it everyday. We appreciate being treated as your family and as your equals. Not everyone will understand this premise but we understand this much. Thank you for trying to bring some humans to us and to understand our way of thinking.  &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Words from Samson</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/ee0572eb-d98f-4d2b-a9e7-35086e6eae06</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It saddens us that debate rages on whether or not we are real and if so the reasons that we remain so mysterious to the Humankind. Our goal is to reunite with you but as you can see in your world about you it continues to be a place of disbelief and mistrust. You pretend to be each others friends and then use this knowledge to advance your own agenda. Then you go about your daily lives like nothing has happened and get undignified when those you have wronged react in a negative way towards you. It is ironic to us to watch how you treat one another and then deep down you believe you can do this to any living thing. Watch and learn in the future as what you have done returns to haunt.  Do not reach back into the fields of ancient time when we once lived in harmony. When you do this it is a reminder of things done and memories of a love that you once rejected. Do not pretend this did not happen and that you, yourself was not at fault. You are but recycled souls and you do own the memory of the hurtful times in the past. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To go forward we as that you live in the now. Do not think that whimsical dress and dance are what we are in today’s world. We are as advanced civilization as found anywhere in the galaxies. You treat us as an oddity and as something that you are superior to in all ways. We reject this concept and we challenge you as a species to move ahead in the here and now as a civilization of love and trust. We will have our difference of opinion but know our knowledge of you is never ending. We read your every thought and we know we you try to deceive us and yourself. We can be of body, shadow and the ethereal light. This is how far we have come and just how near to the Creator we have drawn. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Set aside a corner in home for us. Set a plate and a glass at meal time and we will join you. Trust that we are near and we will be not only in your homes but in your heart. For those of you that would brave the new frontier open your bodies to us so that we would share our time in your dimension with you. If you continue to be afraid of the unseen fear and the evil that your religions have instilled upon you will remain a microorganism amongst giants in your own dimension. &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>" A Message for the Humankind"</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/3b69e6ad-1908-4103-a9a2-917534a74966</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Today we address those comments that appear on the blog entries as mere (?) question marks.  We understand these as no direct understanding of our existence because if you had any knowledge of our presence, here aside you in this dimension, there would be no question mark. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our entries are usually fun filled days and nights with one of our human families (Ron and Karen) but sometimes we must get philosophical for an understanding to take place between our Humankind brothers and sisters. We are souls of extended life and we live mainly in the fifth dimension. We are by all means your equal as a God given soul but we have learned many lessons in the same life form. For the most part, the human experience is 12 or more lives and this has been the time in which you have been given to learn your lessons. We average 1800-2900 years in existence so we ask you to consider this when you address us as a novelty. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;No single being could love you more than us. Please understand that your angels have closeness with the “Creator of All Things” that we recently began to understand about 800 years ago. We do not portend to fill this need for your light bodies but we are the path for many. And for those of you: when you soon waken to your lives as Faery in the human experience you will come to know your need for us in your lives at this time. In this instance we are your spiritual light. We are food and drink for your flesh and we are here to show you the way to your spiritual end. We love you and show this in comedy much of the time but we can be very angry if you wish this. We have feelings as you but we are honest which allows us to forgive and love in place of hate and arrogance.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The time is here for you to understand your spiritual roots; you may be many things in many galaxies. At this point we address you as the Humankind, arrogant and lost. You may not like what the message is for you but understand that this is the path you have chosen to follow to this point. We are sending you the message of the Christ and the love that that “Creator of all Things holds for every part of the creation; please do not confuse one with the other. We are not oddities or play things for your enjoyment but we live as your equals only more intelligent because we have followed this message without dither. 
&lt;br/&gt;We hear every word spoken, or unspoken and in this we know the truth about you.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Mother Earth’s time draws nearer to an end because of you! Do you not see this? Your quest for the spiritual light is not only tardy but could be futile. If this sounds like a scolding, it is. You must do the work on yourself and not your brother or sister if bonding with the ethereal is of concern to you. I am but one of the messengers at this critical point for you. However, I bring the message that you need to hear. Please accept us for what we are, the keepers of this planet. We ask you to awaken to your duty to be at our side in this the last possible battle for the light. At stake is not only your soul but the soul of our Mother Earth. Love is the truth and love is your lighted path. Signed, the earth’s humble servant, Delphinium&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;5:58 am 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cassandra materialized from the shadows of the white bed netting this morning to blow kisses in my direction. I couldn’t ignore this beautiful wakeup call so I rolled out to take a shower. All in all it was a pretty uneventful day if one happens to have Faeries in their daily life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4:30 pm 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cassandra and I hit the 880 to 80 East expressway and as we went along the flyover at the split a candy apple red, 2005 Mustang cruised by us headed in the same direction. Cassandra said it was a beautiful car and I asked her if she would rather like to have the small t-Bird instead. "No", she said, “this Mustang with a black convertible top. I got the image of her speeding along with the top down, holding on to the steering wheel and both feet and her legs flying behind her as should blew perpendicular to her snazzy ride. I asked who would be stepping on the gas for her, and of course dumb me, I should have known that I was in this picture some place. We made a pit stop at the local Safeway and picked up some pink sugar cookies with sprinkles for tonight’s treat. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;12:36 am 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I was awakened by elephants, horses, camels and burros waving hooves and trunks to thank me for tonight’s maple donuts with colorful sugar sprinkles. This note appeared like a ghostly spirit just below the party crowd.  “Ron, we wanted to thank you for all that you do for us. You continue to be nice to us and we appreciate it very much. How are you, I have not seen you for awhile. I answered telepathically and the thought was returned in balloon type words on the wall. I am good Marie and you? “I am good too Ron. We will go back to the television and cartoons now and thank you again for the snacks, love Marie and the Plimtens.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;3:32 am 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Again, Letters words appeared on the nearby wall. “Hi Ron, we are waking you again because we wanted to know if you needed anything. You are not as greedy as some humans are and we like this. We are working with a piece of metal in hopes of making something for you someday. We did not have some of the things that we need like a torch so it is difficult at best. What would you like us to make for you, money, jewels, us. You will get us faster than anything else. Well, we must be going to, we love you, the Plimtens and Marie. I said aloud, I love you too!&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Friday
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4:18 am The treat for tonight was the white cake with sprinkles Cassandra had chosen the other day. A diminutive Winged Faery came to me and by a motion of her right had asked that I follow her to a location on the back of the headboard. “Ron, we know you and Cassandra want to be together more but we are starting to let some other Faeries stay with you in the daytime. This will give them the opportunity to see what is like working inside you. Please don’t get angry at me for this decision. We will work with them so they will be able to communicate with you like Cassandra does. Most of the communication will be through thought but some of course will be with vibrations. Is this okay with you, Yes Marie, we understand the need for this training and it is okay with me. That’s fine Ron, thank you and I will be helping out the next few days if you need anything ask me. Love Marie and the Gnomes 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Marie was true to her word this morning as I woke to admire the devilish curls on the back of my hair I realized that I had a different helper. Sylvia was named to assist Karen and they will be leaving in a few minutes for Folsom. I in turn, have met Melissa who starting today will be with me and Marie to learn the ropes of this human communiqué thing. I look forward to the time we will have together and I am positive she does also. We started off with our coffee with two sugars but in place of vanilla flavored creamer Melissa asked for hazelnut. It will be an interesting day and I welcome my new guests.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Saturday
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4:35 am roared awake by a mighty lion, his, mane tufted in the wind as he stalked up the headboard to this note. “Ron, good morning we loved the pie and thank you and Karen very much, you are nice to think of lemon pie and of course the banana crème also. We want you to know that everything will be okay with the book. Do not worry so much about the publisher. People will find the book once it is in print and we will be ready to work with them. We would like to stay with you today but we have pressing issues in Faery. Cassandra will be back to stay with you again during the daytime. I do not think Melissa is going to work out because she is too shy. If you want, we can try another male but you and Cassandra are in truth, good friends and we honor this as well. It would not be Peter because he is still upset with you. Please go back to bed and get some more rest, and again it will be all right. We will make sure the book gets taken care of after it publishes. Thank you again, Marie and Plimtens and Cassandra, we love you and good night.” I was ready to participate in an apprentice program but apparently it takes more grit to put up with humans than one might expect.  Caretaking a human is not for the faint of heart, on with life, maybe we can do something fun now that the book is about ready.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 6:55 am the light of mornings sun shined through the plantation shutters and the lamp on the nightstand cast a broad Shadow. Above this Shadow a male Faery fluttered down and stopped on the edge between light and dark. He continued to flutter, hovering until from the shadows flew a helicopter and dangling from the ropes at the bottom of the chopper was a freight box that remained tied as he took off for parts unknown.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I turned no the opposite side and from the Shadows near the bathroom door a Winged Faery took flight from the show into the openness of the white wall. Behind her there was another and another and yet another until ten winged beauties had flown from the bedroom. Karen’s Faery Do was a thing of beauty this morning as her new perm turned into giant curls. My hair was styled also but I had horns and the front was pulled down to hide that my forehead is large and shiny.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OWNER RON CORDES relaxes inside A FaeryTale, a new store on Benicia's First Street.Photo: David Pacheco/Times-Herald 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Through the door at the top of the back staircase, past the vine-woven wooden banister railings, sits A FaeryTale, Ron Cordes' new store overlooking Benicia's First Street. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cordes describes his shop, which recently opened, as a New Age or metaphysical store, depending on your point of reference.But however one labels it, A FaeryTale is a local emporium for nearly anything connected with the mythical enchanted beings.And Cordes doesn't just sell the stuff.He lives it. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"I'm not a prophet and I don't want to imply that I am," said Cordes, 55."I'm a man given a job to do to the best of my ability - to make people aware of their spirituality, and if they ask me, I can tell them how to seek it.I'm just a man who's here to open a door.I guess you could call me a doorman." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Not religious growing up, Cordes said his own spiritual journey began about a decade ago with a conversation with a co-worker. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"He was explaining out-of-body experiences and the astral world and alternate planes of existence, and soon after, I started meditating," Cordes said. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"You use different kinds of energy for this, and I use faery energy.I didn't seek them out, they sought me.If you had told me when I was younger that in 30 years I'd be sitting here with a faery on my head, I'd have died laughing." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cordes wrote a book detailing his faery encounters, which began as a journal in which he documented them."A FaeryTale" is being published by American Books and is expected to be on store shelves by December, he said. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Initially, I thought I was just experiencing lucid dreams, seeing old TV shows on my walls, and so on, and then one morning I encountered an energy orb about six inches across, spinning, transparent," Cordes said.This, he said, was his first faery encounter.He has such encounters more frequently now, and in fact is in fairly constant contact with his faery guide, Cassandra, whose likeness hangs framed behind the store's cash register, inside one of several murals gracing the shop's walls. 
&lt;br/&gt;...
&lt;br/&gt;There are animal totems, as well, which Cordes said most people who delve into the metaphysical deeply enough, find they need. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"The door to the metaphysical is usually open through meditation.Most people sooner or later learn they have an animal guide," he said. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The store carries faery-related greeting cards, tote bags, mouse pads and key chains.There are dolls, fine Franz porcelain china pieces, gem stones and energy crystals of various shapes and sizes.There also are Tarot cards and books and games, Buddha's, crystal balls, Egyptian items and representations of Asian and Indian deities.There are Chinese health balls, self-help books and information on Wiccans, children's books, jewelry, and music and meditation CDs.Prices range from $2 for certain keepsake boxes and crystals to $2,100 for some original artwork, Cordes said. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cordes and his wife of 37 years, Karen, also 55, moved from Concord to Benicia more than two years ago.
&lt;br/&gt;...
&lt;br/&gt;"There are more and more faery encounters happening every day," Cordes said. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is fine, he added, since it will facilitate the creatures' mission. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Faeries' mission is to assist humanity to raise our level of spirituality.Angels are messengers of God, and, like faeries, were created before man and given the job of caring for God's creation.Man was created as muscle for this job, but he's become a cancer on the planet," Cordes said. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cordes said he knows he may be perceived as loony by some, but has passed the point of caring. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"It was a tough thing to suspend my own disbelief and admit there are faeries.I grew up an atheist, and gave no credence to a higher power," Cordes said. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He said the faeries led him to believe in God. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;While she hasn't had the kind of paranormal encounters her husband has enjoyed, many of which, he said, are hilarious, Karen Cordes said she never doubted his experiences for a moment. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"After all these years of marriage, if he says he sees faeries, he sees faeries," she said, adding that she has had some degree of experience with the enchanted world and has both a faery guide named Isabella and an guardian angel. 
&lt;br/&gt;...
&lt;br/&gt;And Ron Cordes said he's content. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"It was scary leaving a well-paying job you know for something uncertain.You have to have a certain amount of faith.I put all my trust in God, the faeries, the metaphysical, and I have no doubt it's going to work," Cordes said. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"I was put here for a reason, and I couldn't be happier.I'm standing every day in the middle of my element, and everything in this store is something that could start a person on their journey," he said. &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;2:38 am 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Woodsy type animals joined me this morning among the texture on the white walls. Walls that were painted by the moon light that crept from the white plantation shutters and grayed by the shadows of night.  Raccoons, opossums, birds, skunk, and bears each waved in what I understood to be the unsaid appreciation of friendship and for tonight’s lemon pie.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;5:40 am 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I woke rolling on my right side and facing the broadleaf picture where the night often turns to magic. A juvenile cat clad in graduation gown listened intently to the professor that stood slightly above the plant itself. It was clear that this day was to bring lesson in some fashion. Often the skits I am afforded are prelude to the day at hand. I am blessed each day with the company of the Faeries and oft wisdom is imparted in some fashion. Today it is that no matter what we think we know about the Faery Realm we can rest assured that the Faeries have evolved from thee, thou and the dark ages.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Forgive and Forget, a Lesson in Humility</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/7dd4abdb-7241-416f-89b4-0cac28edc4c0</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Lemon and coconut pie were on the menu last night and surprisingly it was a quiet evening, with the exception of the beautiful hairstyle the Faeries "imparted" upon me. To my surprise, Peter has returned this morning to say hello and to tell me that he has forgiven me for the issues we had sometime back. This is a happy moment because I have been given a second chance and that is what matters to me. Born on what is the equivalent to November 26, of the year 14 AD and remains a proud a Sagittarian.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Ron, I have forgiven you our misunderstanding because of all the good things that you have done for us. We need to work together if the world is ever going to change to be the place it was meant to be. I will be back and forth with you and Cassandra and maybe even Christina if she can get the fire out of her eyes every time she sees you. Just joking, Ron, Christina comes back to check on you every so often already because she is not really angry with you anymore. We must leave for a short while but we will be back to help you write when you are ready, Peter.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A little history may help when it comes to understanding Christina. About two years ago, I happened to be in the kitchen washing the Faery treat plate with Christina nearby as my guide for the day. I had tried for some time and since the beginning of my friendship with the Faeries to get the Plimtens to leave Karen alone at night because they wanted to keep their presence a secret from her. I had explained that in order to keep a secret they must not continue playing with her hair because the joke was a one way street and going only in their direction. After many tries, I was tiring of the shenanigans and I let slip in thoughts only, “tell those little bugs to stop”. Well, thoughts were enough to have Christina’s anger come crashing down on me, thumping my forehead and then later in the day more abuse. Not that I did not deserve it, because I did. We buried the hatchet a couple of months later but as you see most of the male Faeries will not let me forget the incident.&lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;4:26 am 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;“Ron, how are you?” This was written on the bedroom wall in balloon type letters and the rest followed as a scroll from no where. “We would like to make sure that you are okay since Cassandra was not here yesterday. Did Simon and Isabella do a good job? And I in turn answered telepathically, yes. “Good, there will be someone else here today and I am not sure who it will be yet but we let you know. Thank you for the nice lemon cake and strawberries too! Take care and we love you Marie and the Plimtens. Isabella has long been Karen’s guide now and Simon is one of the males who has braved the association with me.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;7:53 am 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I was sleeping in this morning and giving the wrinkles around my eyes the opportunity to recuperate. A distant Shadow near the bathroom quickly morphed into my watchful Faery Guardian this morning as Marie is taking her turn to be with me today. "Good Morning Ron, I know you are able to hear me in your mind very well so I will not be using the vibrations like the others do with you today. I hope that you do mind that I am taking a turn to be with you. I usually just see you at night and wanted the opportunity to get to know you better. Is this okay?" Of course Marie, I welcome you into my home. "Thank You, Ron, we will have a good day together." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Marie is the area supervisor who answers directly to the Queen. She has become a good friend over the past year and is always willing to work with me to answer any question that may arise from our association. She can be very stern but soft as I get scolded at times for my humanness.&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/9e0b3eeb-bb50-4be9-9b34-b6e1bad3cd08</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I have been away from the store for the most part of six weeks due to a much needed back surgery that I finally had completed after eight years. I was in the hospital for nine days as it turned out to be two surgeries within that same time span. All the while I was in the hospital the Faeries stayed near but it appeared as if there was far too much electronics for them. It did not stop them from coming to be with me every day or standing sentry nightly it merely slowed the stream of numbers.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It was interesting to talk with those who worked in the surgical ward about my belief system with the Faeries and to watch the reactions to my proclamation that the Faeries are quite real. There was everything from, “you are truly blessed” to “make sure you hit that morphine button if you have not had enough”. In retrospect, when the Faeries want you to know they are here, eventually they will let you know themselves.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I feel the healing process has been and continues to be expedited somewhat by their presence. I wake from the shortest of naps and I can tell by my stellar hair styles that they watch over me as I sleep. The snack tables are fuller these days as whatever I have for nourishment they also have. They eat far many more sweets than I do, especially chocolate, since the elves are holding steadfast to their rightful place at my side at this my time of need. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I have not regained my sleep patterns yet and though they have been broken with nightly Faery visitations for the past six years they have become weirder. We go to bed around 10:00-11:00 pm and I am back up at 3:00 am because of the pain. The Faeries and I go downstairs as not to disturb Karen as much as possible so we stealthily make it to the cartoon channel or Toon Disney. They allow me to watch bits and pieces of the morning news but are quick to remind me that I should go back to bed if I continue to snooze in front of their television.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is my first day in front of the computer, a few emails withstanding. I will continue to keep you up on the going-on with the Faeries and I invite you in turn to ask questions and to share any stories you may have with me. Faery Blessings to each and everyone!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Those funny Gnomes</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/4360d907-d575-4d10-a2f9-73ef0b7771a9</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;3:38 am the picture of the broadleaf on the bedroom wall took on three distinguishing appearances this morning. In the lower right had corner, "Bugs Bunny" stood face to face in an animated, so to speak, conversation with a familiar coyote. It was a tête-à-tête that I knew would sway in the favor of the cartoon rabbit. Just on top of "Bugs" in the top right hand corner of the broadleaf print was the "Tasmanian Devil". This fearless creature twirled about imitating the whirling dervish that commits the same act when exciting an out-of-body experience.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;5:23 am a coconut and custard filled Danish for the nighttime snack spawned this note. A canine sleuth in trench coat and carrying a magnifying glass followed the trail up the headboard to this message. "Ron, good morning, we are happy that you have someone to publish the book and it is time to move on now. We have much work to do and we need you to finish this process. Please mail it to the publisher today. We are sorry that you and Cassandra feel the need to be together as much because the other Faeries want to spend time with you also. Please consider this request and I will talk to Cassandra also. We are looking at other people now, some of them are friends that you have introduced to us. John --------- seems ready for us but he still smokes, please talk to him. We are also looking at Amber but she asks too many questions about us that we do not want to answer as of yet. Please ask her if she is ready to receive us and we will wait on her answer. Karna and Jeanette, but now Jeanette is pregnant so we should not do this with her because she will be frightened that it will hurt the baby somehow and we understand that need. We must go now, please think about my request and thank you for the snacks as always they were wonderful, Love Marie."  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;6:45 am Cassandra was a foot away as I woke she move with the grace of an angel to the area of the king sized headboard and six inches from my face. She tarried momentarily, peeking around the corner of the embossed insets. She wanted to let me know that I had over slept because the clocks leapt forward an hour this morning. Not wanting in whip her in an argument, I trudged to the kitchen to make the coffee. It looked as if rain was in the forecast today and by nightfall, it was a full downpour. Cassandra and I planted the Japanese maple, "Red Dragon", in the serenity garden on the north side of the house this morning and the rain will be welcomed.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Later this day Cassandra and I spoke to Maries request about sharing time with the other Faeries. Ron, we must do as Marie asks, she is wise and should take her advice. What do you feel? In reply I told Cassandra that I felt this to be a good thing. Cassandra answered in kind, let's do it then, when do you want to start? Tomorrow, okay we agreed. And so it was that we began to invite all Faeries to share the human experience.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;11:37-11:50 pm
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;White cake with strawberry icing and topped with delicious mixed fruit was our snack for the evening. Gnomes, Ivan, Albert, Adam and Noah were present at the foot of the bed. Noah was being kidded about being kin to a male human’s body part and it sounded as if the guys were having too much fun with him. A wrestling match broke out around at the bottom of bed, in and out of my legs until Karen got up to use bathroom. This brought a swift conclusion to the rough house activity&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>A Morning in the Life with Faeries</title>
      <link>http://tribes.tribe.net/afaerytale/thread/490f8c48-a324-4084-889a-bbc6c17104e1</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;The start of a new day with the Faeries 
&lt;br/&gt;2:34 am a twelve inch tall Santa Claus arrived to tell me that he was preparing for a pre Christmas run. He went to the nearest wall and with the most methodical movement stuffed bags of toys in a sleigh until no more sacks would fit. He waddled to the front of his vehicle and one by one hitched the reindeer in harnesses adorned with garland and silver bells. He gave me one last glance then a wave of the left hand as he sat in the driver's seat holding the reigns. Up he went and as he passed overhead, I heard the bells of Christmas morning as they pinged out jingle bells. A kin to the darkness of night he was soon gone leaving a calm stillness in the room. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;4:27 am she worked her way along the dark wicker headboard, passing Karen's new perm that imitated the remnants of a windstorm in the night. Isabella had styled Karen's hair with help from the Plimtens and now they came for me. She fluttered softly to within twelve inches of my eyes and then held in place while I drifted in peace back to sleep. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Mornings light arrived around 5:20 am and I remained with the covers pulled up around my neck all the while my eyes refused to open. Even with my eyes closed, I saw in the distance one of the girls fluttering about. Without warning, it was as if a snowstorm appeared from the heavens and drove with furry past the hovering Faery. This was an event that I recalled in a lucid dream months ago and it was occurring in the present with clarity. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I shower now waking slow with each droplet of water but in remembrance of the Faery gifts that were awarded me during the nighttime hours. I ward aloud, “watch out”, just before whipping the towel behind my neck and follow with a rustle of drying what hair I have remaining. I know now after six years of daily showers with the Faeries that they are well aware of the slippery slopes of human forgetfulness but I choose to remind them any ways. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Luna is perched atop my forehead as I finish my last cup of coffee and chase it down with Listerine, a sip and a swash about and out the door to our truck we go. She vibrates on my wrinkled forehead to remind me what a glorious day we face as we slide behind the steering wheel and buckle up for the short twenty minute jaunt across the bridge to Martinez. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Before going even a block I receive a smooch on my left cheek preceded by the puff of wind stirred by her tiny wings. I smile and wish Luna a good day knowing that the kiss was the trumpets heralding Cassandra’s arrival as my companion for the rest of the day and into the evening hours of bedtime. Cassandra greets me with her own vibration that I have come to know quite well. After acknowledging each other following her absence in the night I ask her silently for the type of treat she wishes to have for the morning hours. She responded this morning in kind with the telepathic thought of a vanilla cupcake adorned with red icing formed to resemble the face of the television’s own “Elmo”.
