whirling under the palm trees in the desert; the strangest flower you’ll ever find; waiting under the banyan tree.

the guitar player serenading you outside your window; sliding down the side of a rainbow and finding a pot of gold; the surprise of a lifetime.

the wind from the south; the Madagascar Red Owl on the branch outside your window; discovering a magic pool in the middle of dense jungle.

walking a path of moonlight across the lake; sitting still; a hearty handshake after breakfast.

the White Horse of Uffington seen from the sky; dreaming of wild strawberries in the woods; the parting of the ways.

carving a watermelon for the festival; three peacocks on the lawn; painting the clouds – actually painting them.

a moment branching into a tree; encountering Merlin at dawn and being given instructions; cheering the parade.

a friendly hand helping you over the stream; donning your crimson velvet robes with the gold satin lining; the garden soaked in starlight.

pulling the sword from the stone; standing on the docks of Marseilles after a great moment; temperance.

waiting under the acacia tree for the moon to rise; playing with friendly dragons on the back of the mountain; the sails unfurling in the salty air.

leaving the shipwreck behind and swimming across the lagoon to the sandy shore; the moment just before you win the best prize of all; violets blue as your eyes; only keeping your heart’s desire and letting the rest go.

hunting, playing, roaring, and resting; a gossamer gown of rose silk chiffon; the mysterious trail leading to an invisible house.

taking off the mask at midnight; the great shout of victory; seeing the flightless bird on Tristan da Cunha,

the waves as high as the mountains behind them; admiring his fine ears; sunshine pouring through the stained glass window.

your first kaleidoscope; soaring through space and discovering a new galaxy; a time to weep and a time to laugh.

the first time; looking through the prism in amazement; smoke billowing from sage during the ceremony.

wild monkeys chattering on the patio; bowing your head and standing still; fragrant almond blossoms piled high on the hillside.

holding your hand out to the moon; opening the door into a tree; time travel.

climbing along the spine of the dragon to take hold of the bridle; tiny, frozen snowflakes in the emerald ferns; elves pouring out from the mossy boulder to take a look.

a box of new handkerchiefs embroidered with silk; thick moss on a huge boulder; the tiger approaching softly.

the flamenco dancer tossing his curls; the secret revealed; a visit from the dragon spirit of the mountain.

opening the chest and finding a magic wand; sleeping in the middle of a sacred stone circle; trouble lifting away.
