Ah, behold the wondrous magic bestowed upon us by Fidelina, the beautiful fairy princess, her beloved husband, Geoffrey the garden gnome and their boy child, Einahalk. They, from the land of the wee folks, drenched in symbolism, of love, of hope, of compassion.
The wee folks, a celebration of diversity in an all different, all equal world.
Observe their joy as the wee folks sense the simple enchantment of twinkling lights.
A fun time to be had as the festivities of free minds rejoice in their passionate desire to see us, the big people, learn of their non-judgemental ideals.
Their sweet innocence doth be a marvel to see.
True love has no boundaries.
Group embrace.
A snowy scene from yesteryear in the enchanted garden where they once lived.
The warm, reassuring glow from within my living room where the wee folks now reside as they pass on their lessons for me to learn, for you to learn, for all of us to learn.
And thus, the setting sun kissed the western horizon. Evening cast hopeful shadows on the sleepy town of Leek, Staffordshire, England. Tis the wish of the wee folks, such scenes of wonder would result in the dawning of the new day. A new day of compassion amongst us of the big world. 
Penny, the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar, along with the wee folks, leave you with some prose for thought.
In the past year
We've seen your fear
Mankind
Not aligned
Man unkind
Hatred for those
Who chose
To live in peace
Make the hatred cease
Make compassion contagious
The premise not outrageous
Peace to you all
Our impassioned call.
Hope a great christmas is had at you wee folks pad!

I'm impressed. Did I mention you are being missed? I did not.
ReplyDeleteWait....
Here it comes....
Well,.....
You, sir, are being missed.
THERE. I said it.
Blue
Hi Blue,
DeleteMy good sir, I'm impressed that you are impressed. I'm heartened to have been missed. You will know, all to well, of the struggle.
Yet, we carry on, indeed we do.
Thank you, my esteemed, sincere friend.
Gary
Yes, I know of the struggle. That doesn't stop me from wishing you a HAPPY NEW YEAR, Gary, never scary, always, invariably flairy.
DeleteSo it is...
As I'm doing the Happy New Year biz.
Carrying on is all we can do. Maybe this year with a hint of a smile.
Remember that some people care.
Blue (not... Scooby Doo)
Indeed you do, Blue. This be so true. HAPPY NEW YEAR, MINUS THE FEAR.
DeleteBlue, thank you for caring, caring and sharing. It's what we do, Blue.
All the best to Blue and all the beast to Scooby Doo..
Gary, Gary, nary contrary......
I'm back to square one, Gary. Say something that makes me smile. It's what we do, all right. Day or night. Saturday or Sunday, a horrible day or a Funday.
DeleteOh Blue
DeleteSay it aint true
Back to square one
Not any fun
Soon, I shall visit you
Your feelings must never devalue.
We shall have a laugh or two
Positive focus, I send to you.

Hey Laura,
DeleteAh yes, the lessons of the wee folks. If only we paid heed to their wisdom.

Gary

Dear Gary, I read your previous post, I am so sorry about your car, I hope it is all sorted out soon. I hope you had a nice Christmas... I guess all we can do is enjoy those fleeting moments here and there where things are nice and normal. I'm sure you understand when I say that it seems over here in the USA, I've been living in a surreal world for the past couple of months. I think I'm in a dream and need to wake up, but when I do it just gets worse! Oh I want to run away and live with your Wee Folk, where things are nice and people are kind. But since I can't I will join you in standing up and making the best of it and hoping for a better year ahead. Happy New Year to you and your family and your dear Penny! ~ Diane
ReplyDeleteDear Diane,
DeleteThank you for such a kind, thoughtful comment, Diane. I'm hoping to get my ridiculous car situation sorted out in early January. My Christmas was most peaceful, thank you. I hope yours was also.
What's been happening in America, I believe, may well be cause for worldwide concern. Surreal and almost like we're in some sort of bizarre reality TV show. Maybe it's just a dream and we will all wake up to a wee folks world. Immerse yourself in that thought.
Here's to you and your loved ones see a peaceful revolution where we celebrate and learn from diversity. Happy, hopeful 2017.
Gary
Stick together with the wee folks in 2017, and you can't help but be happy, that's what I say! How lovely they are. And all the best for the coming year.
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny,
DeleteWelcome to the world of the wee folks and a better way in 2017. Their sweet innocence, their appreciation for nature's balance, an ideal we shall embrace.
Here's to a wonderful 2017 to you and your loved ones, Jenny.
Gary
I'm ready to trade in my life for one with the Wee Folk this 2017. They look so compatible and sweet. I could use a huge dose of that. May this year find us both some and deliver it on our doorsteps.
ReplyDeleteHi Lee,
DeleteThe wee folks welcome you to the 2017 that you can make become a wondrous, magical reality.
On your doorstep, there waits a promise of hope. Happy 2017, Lee.
Gary
Love visiting with you and Wee Folk. I can easily imagine myself shrinking down and joining their world. Looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a 2017 that is happy, healthy and all around great. :)
~Jess
Hi Jess,
DeleteYou are now immersed in their enchanting world :)
Thank you for your lovely wishes, And a wonderful 2017 to you and yours.
Gary :)
The Wee Folk are a good example for the rest of us. Peace and joy on earth seems obtainable watching them. Thanks for sharing this, Gary. The lesson is heeded. Best to you and Tristen in 2017. It's a whole new year full of promise. 2016 is behind us.
ReplyDeleteHoly Crap, I forgot to wish Penny a marvellous new year. So sorry, Penny! Yikes, forgive this ole woman.
DeleteHi Joylene,
DeleteFor sure, the wee folks do teach us lessons. If enough of us big people paid attention to their lessons, what a joyous world this would be.
Thanks for the 2017 wishes for Tristan, Penny and this old dude! :)
Be well and may all your loved ones have a magical New Year.
Gary
Beautiful post. I hope that your Holidays were as fun as this post. Love the poem. I worry a lot about human beings, but I do not know the language of people who choose to destroy. I can only pray that one day fear will be a thing of the past. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. May the new year bring lots of happiness to you and good health too. Amein,
ReplyDeleteHi Munir,
DeleteThank you. The wee folks, Penny and I rejoice in you thinking this is a beautiful post. Our holidays were one of quiet, reflective times. I hope, in your own way, you have had a marvellous time.
Indeed, the language of hate are words we will never understand. Bless you and here's to you and your loved ones having a most peaceful 2017.
Gary
The Wee Folk, and of course Penny, are very wise. If only the world would listen. What darling pics and, as cute as the Wee Folks are, Penny steals the show. She can't help herself, that's how it is for superstars.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful holiday, Gary and I wish you and Penny a Happy 2017!
Hi Julie,
DeleteTheir wiseness are all part of the inspiration we grasp in hopes of that better world in 2017. So very pleased you like the photos, Julie. Indeed, Penny always ends up getting the spotlight :)
Thank you for you kind words and all the very best to you and your loved ones in 2017.
In peace and hope,
Gary
I am most embarrassed for not only my lateness in wishing you well, but in my lack of connection with you most recently. Times does fly when life changes in a way you don't expect.
ReplyDeleteMay your New Year bring many blessings for both you and Penny!
Hi Yolanda,
DeleteBless you, yet tis I that's embarrassed for my lack of interaction over the last year. And yet, your words are treasured, my good friend.
Many blessings for a magical, wondrous 2017 to you and your nearest and dearest.
Hugs and thanks,
Gary
