‘Saw a small figure darting in/out of the flower pots in my backyard, at twilight. Got a sense of ‘not enough room’, creature was NOT happy, extremely sad.’ ‘I heard mourning sounds, as if their world was not enough or lost.’ ‘Saw a figure in shades of grey.’ ‘There was the hint of bells in the air… Time felt twisty.’ ‘Beings [fairies] who once had a place in this world, left it, and are coming back.’
