What do you know?, asked the Wood-Fairy

"What do you know?" asked the wood-fairy, and she had never been that demanding, in her voice. I had no clue what she meant by that. 

"What do you mean by what do I know? I have been at schools, universities, I have done apprenticeships and worked several high-paying jobs, so do you want me to enumerate to you all the stuff about algebra, Latin, partitions, musical scales and physics that I learned? (seriously?)", and I hoped she would say no to that, as I silently started swearing under the heavy list of so-called 'achievements' that I would have to start to quote, if she desired (because I loved her so much!). 

"No!" she giggled. "Not THAT! That's not 'knowing', that's what they make you learn by heart, based on the assumption that you actually don't know and that it has to be sort of 'hammered' into you." She looked a little bedazzled, as if she was trying to find the words to convey to me what she'd like me to receive (gosh, what a difficult job for a wood fairy that basically functions from the language of energy). 

"You know", she started slowly, "when this information is just coming to you, out of nowhere, you just simply 'know' that you know and what you know. Not from thinking or focusing, but from space of being?" "Oh! Like this morning that I told you about, when I stood by the tree, and I just knew what the tree 'told' me about the forest, not with voice or words, but I just knew what it had 'said' to me? You mean that?" Oh, she got excited and jumped! "Yes, Yes, Yes! THAT! This is what knowing is! You basically receive the information. It is all about receiving. RECEIVING, which is the one thing you did not learn in school." 

I got all joyful and so enthusiastic. What an amazing possibility! "Would you teach me that, my friend? Please?", and I was surprised about the demand that was in my question. She jumped up from the blooming mosses with resolution and the matter-of-factness that I know from the Wood-Fairydom, she stood proud and tall, with pollen and sun-particles swirling around her, saying simply 'Yes!'.....

You are part of it, my dreaming friend. As long as you keep dreaming with me I will keep writing.... Why? Your dreaming feeds my dream, my dream is food for your dream. The dream is more beautiful with all us dreamers.)
