It's so soft & warm in Kangas pouch & Kangas rhythmic bouncing was very calming & kind
of fun, by the time the group reached the hive, little bee was nearly asleep 🙂 It was wise
Owl who took the lead when they arrived, this was definitely a case of wisdom first. Owl
introduced the group as forest friends, complimented the bees on there very efficient methods
& simply asked if there might be any honey to spare. Most bees are far to busy to stop what
they're doing, but there was one young bee who was able to listen. Working for bees is like
playing for others, so the young bee gathered all their friends & before long, drop by drop,
they filled Poohs bucket! 🙂 So much so that Pooh & friends were going to have to have
a picnic, or surely some of the honey would spill 🙂

Dear Friend,

Looks like Pooh is a bit late for our band.

Been busy catching the bees,

all weekend.

Trying to slim down again,

but no no, I can't. 

@Sophia1 

Hello dear Tigger friend,

glad to have you back in the band.

Would definitely love a picnic every now and then.

Can we meet in the cave up the hill,

round the bend?

@Emelia8 .

Hello dear shy friend,

hiding behind a tree,

living deep in a bushland.

Could you be dear Piglet,

our missing shy friend?

Yours Pooh Bear,

Always

Thanks @Sophia1 @Lilaca @Oaktree 

and hi to 

@NatureLover @Shaz51 @Anastasia 

Maybe I am indeed piglet ... your shy missing friend ... hiding behind the tree.

Still in hiding.  Too scared to come out and play with her friends.

Feeling lost and alone ... and needing to be heard. 

But afraid of rejection and fearful of banishment.

Dearest @Emelia8 

I know that I can speak for everyone in acknowledging that we would all love to  welcome you as Piglet.

Standing back behind a tree watching is a sign of self awareness to me. Observing and listening a way of looking after your sensitive side at the same time learning a little more about your friends.

If you feel safe to do so come a little closer and observe and listen from a different perspective. You will find that each and every one of us has a need to be heard.

Making a move to join a merry, sometimes noisy, perhaps, band of friends can feel intimidating.

Observe and listen to each one separately.

I think you might notice and or hear signs of bravely reaching out to fit in from others.

Human beings do not naturally fit in with their own kind.

We sensitive ones find it easier to fit in with animals, birds, fish, (no not reptiles for me).

Think back to a time when you were so very very brave and went through with what you were scared of. I can think of many knowing you on these forums.

Move even closer when you feel safe enough to do so.

There is no urgency.

We know that you are there and all are comfortable with that fact.

We love having you in our family .......

Tigger has a lovely warm blanket. Thank you for the reminder (was it @NatureLover ?)

Tigger has a confused mind.

Tigger pushes himself very hard to join in and challenge his confusion.

Dear Friends,

What a merry, merry bunch we are!

We sing and we dance,

as we stroll looking for

another bee hive.

@Exoplanet 

Well, well, Little Bee, 

we are approaching your family.

Why are you hiding?

Can you please fly closer to me?

Pooh looks up high on a tree

witnessing busy bees collecting more honey.

"Hello Bee Family,

can we please have some honey?"

Pooh gets distracted easily,

especially when it comes to honey.

But Pooh remembers Little Bee

is secretly fearful of the Family Bee.

"Hello Bee Family, 

We have Little Bee as part of our family.

Would you please allow Little Bee

to join in our adventure trip?"

"Oh certainly, 

Little Bee could do with your company.

Forest friends may be a change of scenery,

a good part of Little Bee's healing journey."

With that Momma Bee

pours huge amount of honey,

until Pooh's bucket is no longer empty.

And Pooh waves with a smile of sincerity.

Little Bee feels safe

with the new family.

Flying to the top of Pooh's head,

Little Bee feels braver indeed.

@Sophia1 

As the friends wave goodbye to Bee Family,

Guess who else do we see?

It's our dear Tigger friend,

standing in front of his secret garden.

Dear Tigger has been missing,

for a while now he has been hiding.

So we found him smiling sheepishly,

Always snuggling up in his cosy new home.

Dear Tigger being an old pal,

invited the Forest Friends over

for a tea honey party, 

amongst the wildflowers and a giant tree.

Gone are Tigger's gloomy days,

Friends made Tigger bouncy. 

A good host Tigger is,

The Forest Friends soon become bouncy.

@Emelia8 

Look, is that our dear Piglet Friend?

Why don't you join in 

to our tea honey party?

You're most welcome to our family.

Don't feel too shy,

please join us in the merry,

You will soon find your voice,

and sing to the rythm of the dance.

Dear Piglet please take my hand,

Pooh assures Piglet,

we will be sincere friends,

along with the rest of the Forest Family. 

@Oaktree 

Dear Eeyore is back,

Aren't Pooh glad to have Eeyore around?

No more lonely days,

Dear Eeyore is happy to be with friends.

When dear Eeyore isn't gloomy,

he's good with all the Forest Family.

You'll always see him cheering

to those who are most gloomy.

Dear Eeyore feels deep within,

he's at ease with empathy.

whenever someone falls into a dark place,

you'll find them sitting right next to him.

@Ripples 

Dear Little Roo,

I hear you have recently lost your poppa.

Well stick close to Kanga momma,

She'll be a comfort to Little Roo.

Fire burns and spreads rapidly,

the losses include house and family.

But fear not, little Roo,

you have been blessed with strong legs to hop free.

Time flies, memories blurred in a distant,

but what was once a close bond,

can never be forgotten.

Nor can history be rewritten.

Pooh hopes Little Roo will join in

the little adventures of the Forest Family.

Let's write a new chapter in your life story.

Let's reveal the hidden dream long held within.

@NatureLover 

Dear Kanga momma,

You've been such a sweetheart.

You've given Little Bee sweet drink,

and sent Little Bee back flying.

Now now now,

We have Little Roo in a corner.

Pooh isn't very good with this,

would Kanga momma please step in?

Kanga momma loves little Roo best,

Kanga momma is good with her magic tricks.

Pooh is very keen

to see Little Roo and Kanga momma playing.

Pooh is feeling deeply

the sincerity of our friendships.

Despite our differences,

Pooh feels we all fit right in.

Take care Dear Friends.

Your Pooh Bear,

Always.

 

[Sophia1]

Ah you are back @Lilaca 

Dear friend

Keeping us uptodate with your letter is great. We need a storyteller.

I think that we have several.

All telling different parts of the story which works so well.

Tigger thanks you for your kind words and noticing that he had time out.

He needs to have his space to gather as many of the thoughts buzzing around so quickly in his head and then try to settle.

Confusion starts to clear slowly after a while.

The warmth of the sun shining on his warm blanket he finds comforting. 

He was not cuddled very much or hugged when he was growing up.

He knew that he was loved; was not told so or shown physical affection..

He loves exploring and discovering new places, things.

He would love to invite his new band of friends over.

However, he too holds back as he has read in the letter of others.

He needs to feel safe in sharing his secret place where he can restore his energy.

He has shown his friends a picture and shared the excitement of an invitation perhaps later as they each get to know more about the other one.

He suddenly wonders about the cat. Who is feeding the cat?

Perhaps someone else uses the secret place as theirs when he is not there.

Perhaps that is what it really is a secret place within our minds where we can go and feel safe when life is all too hard, painful and draining.

A secret place where we do not have to worry about what others think about us, or that we might upset another.

A secret place where we will fit in, if we feel that we do not fit in elsewhere.

Tigger thinks that he might hang onto his secret place a little longer.

Dear new friends

So many of you to remember now. Tigger yawns

Eeyore kindly wrote a list for him. Now where is that list?

@Oaktree (did you know that there is  a Meggles on here?) (We nearly had another new friend.) So you are Eeyore whom I think is looking after me. Thank you @Oaktree 

@Lilaca has time out and then comes back with such stylish writing and knows so much about us. You are Winnie the Pooh of course.

@Exoplanet I know that you are little bee who has such a vivid imagination and is so very very busy.

@NatureLover You are Kanga Roo's mother I think and you take special care of Roo

@Ripples I think that you are Roo whose mummy is Kanga.

@Shaz51 💖🐦  you are our very own Christopher Robin. Our only human. You are such a lovely human to have so many different creatures as your friends.

@Anastasia is the wise owl in our group whom we can hear at night. Watching over us with one eye open some of the time. Just in case.

@Emelia8 You are our friend piglet who likes hiding behind trees. I think that you are going to have lots of ideas for us when you come out into the open. You might run straight back behind the trees because we can be a tad noisy when we are all busy doing what we are supposed to be. At the same time some of us , in particular Tigger gets carried away and loves happy cheerful funny moments where he can be silly and it does not bother anyone.

I thought I saw mention of a rabbit in a story very similar to ours. Or perhaps I am confused with the time when I found the Mad Hatter's tea party where a rabbit was looking at a special time piece.

Tigger must remember to write a letter to each of you not all at once.

Or perhaps we could have a letter reader.

There are more letters now as the band of friends is growing.

The bat is not happy having to get up even earlier.

Goodnight all

Tigger is tired now

A little sad

Not sure why.

Something in the air.

@Snowie 

Dear Snowie,

We are looking for our dear friend Rabbit to join our woodland friends. Could it be that you are Rabbit??? It would seem to me that Snowie is a perfect Rabbit kind of name. Please let me know what you think.

Meggle

[NatureLover]

Good morning dear Friends,

Kanga has been reading the friends' letters, and also hopes that @Snowie  will be Rabbit (only if she wants). Kanga is playing with Roo, and has invited Tigger over to also play with Roo. Roo has a lot of energy so Tigger is the ideal playmate. Kanga hopes that playing with Roo might calm Tigger's mind, too... Tigger will turn up if she wants to, when she's ready. Gumnut Baby is on a branch, talking to Bee. 

Kanga is packing some picnic foods into a basket: fresh rolls for the bucket of honey, and strawberries, and some crackers, and thistles for Eeyore. Kanga is a foodie, so nurtures people through food. She also packs some sugar water for Bee. The weather for the picnic is sunny, but they will make sure to choose a forest clearing with some shade for Eeyore and anyone who wants it. Christopher Robin will carry the picnic basket and put the picnic blanket over her shoulder, and Kanga bundles Roo into her pouch, and invites Bee and Gumnut Baby to travel in there also, if they want. Bee's wings are still fragile and must be taken care of till they are stronger. 

Kanga hopes the fresh air and the sun (and the shade) and the company of friends and the good food will cheer those who need it. 

From Kanga

@Oaktree  @Sophia1  @Lilaca  @Exoplanet  @Anastasia 

[Snowie]

Hi @Oaktree 

I would be honored to be Rabbit.

Thank you so much for asking me to join your woodland friends.

I hope today goes well for you.

@NatureLover 💗

A letter from an over anxious Piglet.  Thanks everyone for your kindness and generosity in including me.

Pooh Bear & friends were being strangely secretive, huddling together in little groups,
giggling & jumping quite joyfully 🙂 Sometimes one would dart off with in a definite
direction, other times two or three would wander about obviously looking for something
in particular? What was going on?
Eeyore was at the center of it all, pointing this way & that, with a gigantic smile 😄 Pooh
Bear seemed to be in league with Owl & little bee, the trio regularly arriving with an
empty bucket & then bouncing off into the woods in joy 🙂 Although Tigger wasn't ready
to have guests at her secret garden, she, together with Kanga who had Roo & Piglet in her
pouch had brought a beautiful big table & were still moving many comfortable chairs
into the bright sunny clearing in forest. Gumnut Baby was riding Owls back & they were
gathering the biggest, most colourful flowers. The fastest in the group, White Rabbit, was
swifting beating eggs, milk & flour with one paw & cream with another! What was going
on?
Christopher Robin was nowhere to be seen, you see the cheeky group of friends had sent
that beautiful, caring human being, on a wild goose chase that they knew would take at
least an hour! It was literally a wild goose chase, the friends had told Christopher they'd
seen a wild goose sitting on the lakes edge crying & Christopher being a beautiful, caring
person, immediately went to find & help it ❤️
As Christopher wandered back to the cheerful group of friends, the confusion felt by not
finding any sad goose, even after asking all the critters along the path, grew stronger. It
looked like there were multi-coloured stars in the sunny clearing where his friends where
gathered. You see the fire-flies were helping & one sat in every big beautiful flower &
lit them up like party lights 🙂
Eeyore had gotten everyone to hide in the bushes, so when Christopher came into the
clearing a lot of blinking was needed, there was an unsurity of what was being seen. A
beautiful big table covered in butterflies, except where a huge 10 storied cake was sitting
in the middle & of course where the plates & cups & cutlery where lying. There were treats
& sweets, big bottles of bubbly & a great big sign! Just as Christopher was raising their
chin so they could properly see & read the sign - everyone jumped out & shouted :-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER ROBIN . . . WE LOVE YOU!!!!!

And the biggest most joyful party began . . . . .

@Oaktree  @Emelia8  @Sophia1  @Snowie  @NatureLover  @Lilaca  @Ripples  @Anastasia @NatureLover  @Appleblossom  @Snowie  

You are a wonderful person @Shaz51  so many love you ❤️ Thank you for being there for us all ❤️
