Made a quick comic based on that one tumblr post.

You're wandering along with a moment-capture device in hand.

It was sunrise not long ago, and though you feel uninspired this morning, you decide to wander outside with a camera in hand. The first time you've done so this seriously in a long while, and though you say seriously, we know you really mean you are going with simple intent; to capture something amidst whimsy and your utter joy under the sunlight, because birds are everywhere, like little fae hopping through cracks in our understanding - of course they're fae, there are wings and songs and shows of dramatic singing, things we look past in search of some deeper magick. You stop to admire the way that they move with a dance or with the intelligence of a creature whose experience we will never come to understand.

It is simply cryptidicy. It is a bird's very nature to be everywhere and nowhere at once, in cities and bushlands and fields and seas, to lure us in and laugh when we cannot keep up. Do not eat the things that they give you, only steep in the love which you find here. What you know and what you feel and see in front of you is like the shiny rock to your own bird brain.

Here you are in the morning light and the air of a new day. You cannot help but feel enchanted and connected a little more than the version of you earlier this morning did, and you hope you can connect the emptiness to this joy one day. You also cannot help to be excited and to want to share, because every time you come here it is a new discovery. You have so much to say about the places you arrive each day but you suppose that that is the nature of nature - it wants to tell a story. It wants to connect through roots and fungi systems and energy in the air and rocks, folded in the scientific magick of our understanding and expanding whatever we know to be true.

Perhaps one day you might consider the creation of a space for your efforts, your loves and your hopes. Perhaps you really will share it, the magick that you see, with anyone you possibly can as you have attempted to so far. You think you feel a little more inspired now; so you open the web and choose to put your passion somewhere, a fly in a net and a blog on a site, in hopes that you catch glimpses, or fall into caverns, of jewels of passion from others like you.
