§215

‘I, at the time, worked as a sawer for *** crew fighting wildfires in the Alaskan interior forests. As we were cutting line around the fire it began to rain a bit and for the most part the fire was controlled but still not contained. It is our job to-cut line around the entire fire to eliminate any chance of it drying up and spreading. So it was low adrenaline regular run of the mill day at work. Slow and steady. My saw partner and I would each run the saw till the tank ran out and switch. One would act as sawer and the other as swamped. As we switched tanks, I began to cut and he began to swamp the trees, the burnt hot ones go into the black while the green ones went to the green side, this cutting our eight to ten foot control line on top of this Rocky ridge. As I was cutting down these pecker poles about two to three inch wide and ten to fifteen feet tall, I went to cut into the bottom of one and right before my eyes the tree shrunk down and a not so handsome little man about a foot tall with a beard and many wrinkles on his face stared up at me and screamed ‘Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo’. My hands held steady the saw that vibrated from the four hundred and fifty cc motor and my eyes widened large. My partner later told even through the screen protective lenses he could tell something amiss. He yelled ‘***, *** [the sawyer’s name].’ With no response I stood stiff. He shook my shoulder, then my partner, a seasoned veteran and paramedic shut off the saw and again asked me what happened? I still stay stiff into [sic] he turns me with grabbing both shoulders and tells me to take a seat. For fifteen minutes he tries to get what happened out of me. How could I tell this man who trusts me with his life that I saw. That I saw… Finally he says he will have to call our crew supervisor,. I turn to him and say ‘***, I saw an elf!’ He looks at me and just shakes his head in full acceptance. I look puzzlers, I say ‘you saw it too?’ He says ‘no’. I say ‘what’. Trying to read his mind, ‘others, others on the crew have seen them?’ He nods his head, yes. Understanding this I keep silent and continue about my day. I nor the others on the crew were ready to share and hold their truth amounts the possibility of fall out that could have incurred. Happy to share it now. Blessings and love to the many dimensional beings we share this world with.’ ‘Old rugged kinda ugly though I don’t like to say so. Kinda bald and dirty.’ ‘I said elf to my buddy but it could easily be a name. I just know what I saw. It was in the woods, and my wisdom spoke up and remembered something that lay dormit [? dormant].’ ‘[Fairies are] a dimensional being that can support humans if they wise up in connection with Mother Earth. Fairy is a large dimension of characters. Some to trust while others are a bit more tricky.’ ‘Being a thirty-nine-year old man that has retired from a job that most people considered brave, tough, and masculine. I love sharing this story to those who are like. Well I got me thinking anyway.’
