I’m out of order and all to hell and I’m sorry. I had written a few blogs as bonuses and then got out of whack and so I’m trying to do better this week. Maybe if it snows I can get caught up. I’m apologizing to myself as much as you, because I need to write as much as I need to breathe. And here we go.

{WP #635 The real reason people have freckles}

As a child, I remember a sweet red haired lady telling me not to be embarrassed by my freckles, that they were God’s kisses. Obviously, she was as Irish as they come.

But NOW I know the real reason.

Those of us born under a waxing crescent or a full strawberry moon in June are fey. That is, magic. If you’ve ever known someone who was energetic and charismatic, chances are they are Gemini. If they were of these moons, they are also spritely. They probably drive you a little crazy. They can’t help it. It’s like their brains can only light on subjects for a short while and then they’re distracted by dandelion seeds floating on the breeze and they must follow them to find where they lead. You’ll know them by their freckles.

Usually they have to come into their “power”, for lack of a better term. They are often ridiculed as children, because they look slightly different. They have trouble concentrating, unless the subject interests them. Math does not interest them in the slightest, so don’t try. They like frequent change and bright colors, mesmerized by nature and water. A cute upturned nose, sparkling eyes, and sharp wit often characterize these imps. They are imaginative and whimsical, often developing into artists or writers. They become accepted by a rare few who recognize their charm. And the love they reciprocate will warm you to your soul.

But never betray them, for they possess another gift: the ability to make you uneasy. It doesn’t sound so bad…but think about it. You feel like someone is forever lurking in the shadows, you begin to have bad dreams, you’re never totally relaxed. For all the times you knew you were beloved, now you feel that a frigid cloud has descended. They have taken away their protection. It was once so indistinct you never perceived it but now…you feel exposed and cold. The light has dimmed. If you ever encounter them again, they cut you to slivers with their blue or green eyes. And if you cross another, you wonder why they are so remote. The freckles network, dontcha know?

Whip smart and witty, these fairy dusted friends bring just a bit of joy into your days that you never knew was lacking before. They are your sprinkles. Cherish them, for they aren’t long for this world.
