A Fairy Ring?

We live in a spiritually-deadened age. Things are either explained through scientific rationalism, or people cling to a religion better-suited to nomadic tribes in the Near East 2000 years ago than the modern world. In either case, nature takes a back seat. It is either experimented upon, theorized, and hypothesized to death, or it is deemed that man should exercise his "right" of dominion over it.

That is why it cheers my heart to see something which cannot be rationally explained, but could be written off as pure serendipity, or maybe the work of those forces which the new religion pushed aside, but could not vanquish. I was walking out the door of the office last week, when I took time to notice something which seemed too odd to be written off as random. There, in the dewy grass beside the path, was a perfect circle of tiny mushrooms. Was this circle perhaps the remnant of a celebration of fairies or sprites from the night before?

The next time you are out for a walk, take time to look for such peculiarities. You may be surprised at what you find.
