“There are rivers sweetly perfumed with lavender in my soul.”

— Anna de Noailles, tr. by Jethro Bithell, from Poems; “In The Garden,”

how to live like a fairy:

- grow flowers, walk and dig in the soil

- eat wild strawberries and blueberries, have fruit picnics

- dance your heart away while the moon is shining upon you

- drink water infused with lavender and honey

- collect things that call to you, let them whisper their secrets and long history to you

hey y’all! was taking a break for a while but i’m back now :-) <3 🌻✨🍄🐄

“Little soul, you and I will become the memory of a memory of a memory. A horse released of the traces forgets the weight of the wagon.”
