Are You A Butterfly?
-
How does one become a butterfly” she asked pensively
“You must want to fly so much you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”
“You mean die?”
“Yes and no,” he answered. “What looks like you will die, but what’s really you will still live”
I love butterflies. They represent rebirth and rejuvenation. Butterflies represent freedom and courage...the kind of courage it takes to transform one's self and create a meaningful and happy life.
"Once you are a butterfly, you can really love - the kind of love that makes a new life."
We are all interconnected in miraculous ways. Each of us, through our words and actions creates a ripple effect that resonates through the world. We make a choice every day in what we wish to present to the world and in how we will live our lives. Without courageous caterpillars, we wouldn't have butterflies, without butterflies, we would not have flowers. We need one another. By sharing our love and doing our part we can all make the world a better place. With a little courage and faith, we, too, can become butterflies.

You changed me
in beautiful ways
Flying high
my wings opened to wondrous new possibilities
Possibilities I had left to die
Dead roses
Dead dreams
Through you
I learned of things I had never known
Life's fresh breath
blowing light and love
on me
The world became bigger
for me
I became
more open
more loving
more honest
more Me
Finding you
completed me
Awakened by chance?
Or
through destiny's fate
I discovered
feelings
dreams
desires long buried
The girl who once was
the lost girl
was found
I welcomed home my old friend
I remember you! I remember you!
And shed a tear of gratitude
She walks with me
Still
Even as I walk away
your imprint
remains
in my heart
Still
And all in the world
is
just as it should be
just as it has been written
