Compass


I write science fantasy. I believe in fairies. I’ve seen them sparkle in a dance in the shadows of my sycamore; I know they hide in the frosty tips of evergreens in the canyon. So when I think of a compass, it’s findings and search are for so much more than cardinal directions:

Fire, Wind, Water, Earth.

Sun, Moon, Earth, Air.

Warmth, Hydration, Sustenance, Shelter.

Friend, Elder, Enemy, Totem.

Joy, Determination, Steadfastness, Contemplation.

 

Each being should have their own compass as a guide when life just seems not quite right.

Just imagine.
