Spinning Fairy Comes Back Down To Earth

     In my dream I noticed people singing and lifting up into the clear blue, fluffy white clouded sky. I told myself "I know how to do that! It DOES feel better than being down here." So, I lightened my spirit and gave it voice until I began to rotate like those Fairy Barbie Dolls: pull the string and up they go like a helicopter propeller. I had my head in the clouds for a few days before some "rescuers" came to trigger my coming down "back to Earth". As I saw browns and greens again I thought to myself; "The landing will hurt if I don't soften it with a BIT of 'airy-fairy' to me." It would have been one of those dreams where you feel like you're falling and startle yourself awake while your body literally jumps off the bed. Instead of being startled awake, the bit of 'airy-fairy' worked and I continued in the dream, getting back to business and thinking I should probably ask what I missed. I woke softly just before my alarm went off.
   The "airy-fairy'-ness of my life is buying into a program/recipe of 'success'. To the world, that recipe is actually considered well-grounded and practical and 'realistic'. "Coming back down to Earth" means being real about how I feel/perceive those recipes which others may call unrealistic.
   I was told recently I needed to do less blogging and writing to focus on fulfilling a requirement and I had to note: I haven't been writing or blogging NEARLY as much as usual. I had been too caught up in her "airy-fairy" self-sufficiency plan. No, part of coming back "down to Earth" again is me renewing my relationship with my writing!
    I have also redefined something for myself in the past 24 hours. People see a steady work record or certificate or degree and say "this person is reliable because they can stick to something". Cannot the same be said for one who stuck to being a stay-at-home mom no matter how financially hard things had gotten? Cannot the same be said of one who stuck to her spiritual journey above a box of familiarity? I HAVE shown steadfastness of charector, reliability, steadiness, productivity, dedication and all those qualities. So, I redefine ME.
And occasionally remember the feeling of fairy dancing out of 'a harsh reality......
