And the Lilac fairy warned “If you take a sip of my nectar, you will fall under my sweet spell and become fully present in the delightful Now. You will lose ability to plan for future, or dwell in past. You will not be productive, or Do anything. You will simply Be. Softly softened now by me…”
..
“There are those who have tried to capture my essence, and bottle it for sale or some future time. But my essence quickly fades. I cannot be captured or held hostage in a bottle, because my spirit lives in this moment.”
..
“If you want to know me, Lilac, the moment is Now. There is only Now. Everything else, is just make-believe.”

Lilac fairy Drink Recipe: Approach Lilac and introduce yourself to her. Greetings Lilac, how intoxicating your beauty & aroma. May I have some of your lovely flowers? The branch waves, yes. Thank you. Gather lilacs in your basket. Oh theres a spider, ok I have enough flowers now. Thank you graciously. Kiss. Now remove the flowers from the green stem, taking time to carry any bugs & critters outside back to their home. Now measure 1 cup flowers, 1 cup water, 1 cup birch sugar, 8 blueberries. Make a simple syrup by dissolving sugar in heated water in a pot on stove, add blueberries. Then turn off heat and add flowers. Stir & infuse 10 minutes. Strain. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to magically transform purple to pink color. Bottle. Keep refrigerated. Mind you, the flavor quickly fades with time so enjoy very soon. (After 2 weeks mold can form.)

When you are ready to surrender & fall under her spell: Take a beautiful glass, add water or bubble water and a touch of Lilac syrup. You can add Lilac flower ice cubes for extra specialness. To make ice cubes: A few flowers & water in ice cube trays. Then when your drink is ready, sit back, take a sip and…Enjoy!
