Today the girls created a magical kingdom by the Sea from treasures washed up and spread around by the snow, wind and waves of the past weeks crazy weather train! They decided to "Run Away"- not from their families but from the confines of how children are expected to behave in this society.
The reality s that they were "Running Towards" - not away.... they ran towards the realization of their imaginations coming t life as they foraged, created, discovered, problem solved and celebrated the whole time! So intrigued were they that even the many seagulls stopped their praying into the winds and began watching this birth of the New Kingdom!
A piece of wood became their table balanced (eventually) on four pieces of drift wood planted in the sand. Another became the tool for harvesting herbs and food. A discarded black knit scarf was a royal banner first draping the royal table, next waving like a standard calling her fellow courtier back to the castle grounds!
The sun was behind us as we mere adults observed this mystical process form before us. The winter ocean was their background as these amazing children of light responded to their hearts. Dancing in love and joy of being on this earth we realized our daughter's souls had been freed and even rescued from certain censure and oppression. They danced the waltz of freedom they realized they have regained!
I have been blessed to be allowed to hear the music and rejoice as they dance in their Magical Kingdom by the Sea!
