Description
As I kept turning inward toward myself, and surrounding myself with things that spoke to me, a tiny memory, ever so slowly, rose into my consciousness.  These folk songs, that sung of spirits of nature.   I could so clearly envision a life where they were ordinary.

All the animals, plants, and every feature of the planet had its own vibrant life, and everyone knew. You could speak to streams, and they could speak back. You could sing, and the sky could sing with you.  And the elementals seemed as numerous as the animals themselves.  There were nymphs, and faeries, and many, many, others, with names that were now long forgotten by man.

It was not a surprising memory... it was far from new.  The picture had been hanging in the corner for so long, I had simply forgotten to look at it.
