a green roof; meeting for tea during a snowstorm; breaking plates on purpose.
a green roof; meeting for tea during a snowstorm; breaking plates on purpose.
inventing the wheel; shedding an old skin without a murmur; snow in a glass ball.
the mysteries of the tide pool; graciously accepting the award; entering the citadel on a horse.
goodbye to all that; retreating to the cave for the winter; a magic hand-mirror.
peering over the stone wall; smaller than you can imagine; a butterfly dreaming about Paris.
a small house in the Scottish Highlands; the owl entering her room with a message; stretching your hands from one shore to the other.
a strange motion in the sea; seeing undines for the first time; sewing pearls onto the ballgown.
reaching for the sky; a she-wolf taking care of twin babies; sculling slowly through the village.
a different listening; dancing your way out of the cave in the cliff; wrapped in silk.
kissing under the bridge; a fantastic coincidence; setting up your tent in the snow.
sliding down the rainbow; a field of wild ginger; wondering about the light flickering in the high turret.
making a promise by moonlight; the flutter of anticipation; feeling for the secret door at the back of the closet.
our lives entwined; being met at the train; bringing the wood inside before the storm.
the island appearing out of the mist; finding just the right broomstick for your next trip; a stupendous offer.
crossing a field of ripe pumpkins; the face in the bark of the tree; down by the old mill stream.
waiting on the dock at dawn; a new glass slipper; breaking the seal.
meeting after the theater; being blown like a leaf across the field; getting the call that changes your life.
looking down at the world; trading cinnamon for Venetian glass; the words you speak turning into tiny jewels and tumbling into your pockets.
meeting under the winged pine; the stars at midday; elves playing in the dollhouse.
a rare and mysterious discovery; the power of rage; moss and emeralds wherever you look.
dawn after the storm; on a pilgrimage to the mountain of Miao Fen Shan; wrestling with your shadow in the dark.
walking on the traintracks; the moment before you spoke; nightingale singing right outside your window.
