Dreaming day...

The sun is not coming out today—a bad day to have decided to bring my plants outside for a respite of sunshine.  We cleaned the pond a few days ago and got the pump running again.  Sitting here in our peaceful sunroom-dinning room, which is right by the pond outside, it truly is enchanting. 

The sound of water, the countless tweets of birds in the privet; which is the habitat to so many species, the sky so low with murky clouds—all make me want to dream…


...to cuddle up in dreams and be transported to some fantasy world….


 Imagining I’m riding the moon in a fairy bubble...
Be transported to Munchkin-land… 
Or to the Land of Oz where the wicked Witch of the East will be waiting!


Get lost in Minas Tirith, the city that J.R.R. Tolkien described as seemingly "carven by giants out of the bones of the earth."  Fantasy lands and forest of deep mysteries...


Fly around in bird wings through Golden Wood in Lothlorien! The most magical world in the entire Middle-earth in Lord of the Rings!  


Or perhaps runaway to the bottom of the sea and become a mermaid?


But of course, if I could chose a place
I would must definitely will have to pick the magical forest of the “Legend”
where Princess Lily found the Unicorn!  
 Oh yes yes that’s where I want to go!  


I’m thinking that this year I want to engage more in magical thinking… run through enchanted forest, dwell in unimagined worlds; worlds of make believe where dreams and imagination would enrapture me at any given blissful moment of day and transport me to an inexistent future and a forgotten past.

Where would you like to be transported to, if you could?  Please do share!

“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places. But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.” - Tolkein

  1. Well...heaven...just to visit those loved ones who have passed and who most surely live in the most enchanted place of all. Remember...only for a visit!

  2. More north than North, more south than South... in old Baba Yaga legend.

  3. the magical place between worlds where there is no sickness, war or evil. There is only happiness and serenity and the gifts people have are treasured like the air we breathe. We can go there now and the ticket is our imagination, if only for an hour or a day. I know you travel there often and share your memories with us like you have today.
