There are many thoughts, ideas & words I feel a desire to write. I would like to write (among other things) about the hatred remediation work I have completed, about being Outside, about new ventures in light of old ones, about what happens when the "Earth Goddess" becomes a cop-out, about animism vs. anthropomorphism, about Bacchus & breastmilk, about my reflections on letters received, about my thoughts on birdsigns, patron deities & flying ointments, about meditations on Water, about people who are full of crap & about the wisdom of friends.
But. They keep calling, singing their tiny siren's songs from the forest.

A wee slime mold makes my heart flutter. |
Last year, I was greeting the Wee Ones. This year, they are greeting me. In droves. They are a clamorous bunch.
|
always charming, but moreso in miniature.
|
|
Tiny yellow cup fungi = love. |
|
A wee mushroom with a ruddy cap. |
|
Wee earthtongues,
also known as fairy fans. |
|
Wee puffballs emerging. |
|
Wee cup fungi on canid feces. Yes. I talk to them too (it's awkward). |
|
A trio of wee white mushrooms. |
|
A green Russula grows an (extra) wee cap. |
|
A gratuitous wee mushroom. So many. |
|
Another wee puff. Like Lady Moon. Yes. |
|
A teeny-tiny umbrella mushroom. A leader among the Wee Ones, although not the smallest. These mushrooms are generally shy, but this one was remarkably amicable. |
Wee Ones trump writing.
I can only hope the words stay with me until I get out from under their spell.
* Special thanks to my trusty dime companion. I could not convey the scale without it.

The beginning of your post reads like my thoughts after certain phone call... but enough of that. Your sharing of Nature's art put a smile on my face. I was cooing and grinning. What beauty the Earth holds...
What lovely examples of the rewards in store for anyone who takes the time to observe more closely! And I thank you very much for using your dime to show the scale; the tiny-ness of some of these (especially that last one) would not have been clear without it.
