On the tenth visit on the tenth week following her tenth birth day, she took ten additional steps beyond the Big Tree Boundary.
She went Farther.
At first nothing happened. The woods looked as they had before. The trees no different in the Farther Realm than they were in the land she’d known and was allowed in until then: Green branches, a ground springy with the fallen leaves, wind whispering in the tree tops, birds’ song.
Then the light shifted and the air shimmered with a sense of something else. A being with.
She shuddered. Not in fear but with expectation. Not everyone went Farther, and none she knew spoke of what they’d found.
She stilled. The world around her blinked. The forest floor awoke.
Her heart raced and she inhaled. Her soul spoke. She knew it! She knew it! She’d be among the few allowed to see Fair Folk.

I know! There’s a child I know who sees them. She describes water fairies and tree fairies and rock fairies (who according to her are cousins of the water fairies). To her this is matter of fact. I see no reason to doubt her one iota.

I saw them as a young child. And I was cheeked for it. So then Ikept quiet. These days I sense a present… who knows. I kno longer see them with the clarity of a child

Yes, I know too many children who were told to disregard their own reality. It makes me sad. I sometimes ‘see’ something, which may or may not be a ‘seeing’ but I certainly sense the presence of other realms. Not on demand, and often out of the blue, but there’s a sweet recognition in it. Children have a special clarity, and I think it is worth allowing. Always.

I see people’s auras. Not often no cos I don’t think about looking, and also my eyes aren’t so good. More is that I sense a person’s personality without knowing them at all
