I was preparing my bloomers and gloves you see, for that special occasion rushing towards you and me...
When I heard voices in the distance.
Faint voices, hidden voices, tiny voices.
I went outside and looked around quizzically...
And right there, in the middle of the garden, I saw little fabric garlands, streaming from foxglove to foxglove.
A tiny voice said, "Hello Dearie, so glad you could join us..."
I felt myself falling, the way your belly drops when you are riding a roller-coaster.
I was getting smaller...
And smaller...
And smaller...
But of course, I thought to myself...
Wonderland in the Midst.
Shrinking girl.
Makes perfect sense ;)
So, I tiptoed towards the chirping happy voices...
And then, I caught of glimpse of them. Oh, my lovely little friends.
Friends I had lost touch with. Friends who in part, guided me to the little world I choose to live in, where imagination reigns!
Faces I had forgotten.
My heart skipped a beat...
You know that feeling you get, when you see lovely folks that you used to work with (that you liked), or old friends that you have lost touch with (whom you enjoyed), and you get this deliriously giddy feeling in your soul?
And, just like that, you realize that you missed them, and you didn't even know it?
Well, that is how I felt when I saw my little friends...
You might remember them from long lost travels and adventures over the past few years?
If not, that's okay, they are overjoyed to make your acquaintance ;)
Thanks to Wonderland, and all it inspires, we get to mingle and sip tea and go mad.
A year, a whole year, has past since the last fête.
Can you believe it??
And now, we get to do it again.
That is the true magic.
Just a few more days my friends!
Time is slipping, and enchantment is around the bend, in the fairytale forest...

I can't wait, can you?
