Untraveled Worlds: December 2012
http://untraveledworlds.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 December 2012. All About the Eve - NYE and the Power of Anticipation. I can't help flying up on the wings of anticipation. It's as glorious as soaring through a sunset. Anne of Green Gables. Flight by K-Bladin on deviantart. Amidst the happy bustle I wonder, why is it that we celebrate the eve. Of the New Year more than the day itself? What is so special about festive "eves" in general? Light and shadow are indistinct in the anticipatory mind. St Agnes’ Eve. The Eve of St Agnes. Nor look behin...

Untraveled Worlds: June 2013
http://untraveledworlds.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 June 2013. How to make a Fairy-tale Bed. Oh night thou was my guide. Oh night more loving than the rising sun. The Dark Night of the Soul. The Princess at the Curtain, by H.J. Ford. I've learned to listen to that night-voice. It tells me true. And thus my story begins. Rain on leaves is a musical and soothing sound. I will do this. Is there any earthy reason why I should not try it? What child does not dream of sleeping out under the sky? Near the window my otherwise square bedroom bulges ou...

Untraveled Worlds: Making Everyday Magic
http://untraveledworlds.blogspot.com/2013/08/making-everyday-magic.html
Saturday, 10 August 2013. The magic in this world seems to work in whispers and small kindnesses. I made magic today. The harbour on a beautiful late winter day. It was lucky I paid attention today - otherwise I would have missed my chance. As I walked along relatively quiet sidestreet, I saw a sign affixed with tape to the wall of a hedged garden. Written and illustrated in rainbow texta, it was clearly a child's masterpiece of commercial art. Adult's makeup) DVDs CDs. When something magical happened, l...

Untraveled Worlds: Wondrous Strange
http://untraveledworlds.blogspot.com/2013/06/wondrous-strange.html
Saturday, 22 June 2013. Tis wondrous strange, the like yet never heard of." - Henry VI. Wonderful and strange are naturally paired in my mind. This thought, like a sudden breeze, sent the hot-air balloon of my mind careening in a new direction. It was the word. That struck me, or rather my natural pairing of the word. In the light of a particular compliment, a distinction not awarded to words often used as synonyms of "strange"; like "odd", "weird", "peculiar", "different" or "eccentric". Alice's Adventu...

Untraveled Worlds: January 2013
http://untraveledworlds.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 30 January 2013. I can hear you calling,. Is in the rain,. Leaves on trees whispering,. Deep blue sea's mysteries. Enya It's in the Rain. Who can resist the call of the wind and rain? As I have written before, I feel a wildness within me in moments of elemental potency. In a previous blogpost "Singing into the Wind". This time the hour was late - or rather early. A rain-drenched, roofed balcony, similar to my own except mine stands alone save for a tree beside it. My bedroom has two doors - th...

Untraveled Worlds: The Allure of Fantasy - Jareth and Crystal of Dreams
http://untraveledworlds.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-allure-of-fantasy-jareth-and.html
Friday, 16 August 2013. The Allure of Fantasy - Jareth and Crystal of Dreams. Down in the underground. You'll find someone true. Down in the underground. It's not long at all. For the first time last week, and it strongly affected me. Since then I have watched the whole movie twice more, certain scenes. Look at what I'm offering you. Your dreams. I sought words to describe my state - and Tolkien's words from. Resonated within my mind:. Both joy and sorrow as sharp as swords. And anyone who has even brief...

Untraveled Worlds: April 2013
http://untraveledworlds.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 2 April 2013. This Fairytale World of Mine. The realm of fairy-story is wide and deep and high and filled with many things: all manner of beasts and birds are found there; shoreless seas and stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment, and an ever-present peril; both joy and sorrow as sharp as swords. ". JRR Tolkien, On Fairy-Stories. She lived happily in her nest, standing at the edge in the sunset looking upon the beautiful world," Little Wildrose. Artist Henry Justice Ford. That I trusted&...
