Week 5: Gardening with the Raucous Fairy
This story gets to the “chaos” part of chaos, wonder, and the spiritual adventure of parenting! It’s funny, heartwarming, and relatable.
Check out this audio recording of “Gardening With the Raucous Fairy” by Tracy Springberry, published in Chaos, Wonder, and the Spiritual Adventure of Parenting. Let’s light our chalices together, breathe, listen to a story, and reflect.
Questions for Reflection
- So often, when children are around, whatever the activity is, it becomes raucous. How do you get to the point of saying “thank you” to the raucous fairy for this energy?
- How do you find relief from the chaos when you really need it? What do you think you would have done in Tracy Springberry’s situation?
- Have you ever had an experience with your children that did not start well, but which somehow transformed into an experience that brought you together? This is the magic of the raucous gardening fairy!
With you on the adventure,
Rev. Beth
