June - Month of the Butterfly
|
The butterfly is a teacher and companion who flies on silent wings, never disturbing the peace or sowing discord, choosing to be in the moment instead, for the butterfly has shed its past and left it behind embracing change and transformation.
It has known hardship and learned to survive on sheer will. As a defenseless egg it has embraced its vulnerability, learned the song of hope and dreamt the dream of a new tomorrow. The butterfly carries its healing wisdom to all flowers and herbs like, even the ones, that are hardest to reach, the ones not visited by bees, never judging by scent or colour. Its heart whispers gently, "Trust." As a caterpillar the butterfly wears its skeleton on the outside, using it as protection, shielding itself. While growing it rapidly sheds the old skeleton time after time letting go of limiting beliefs and fear, expanding until all its learning is done and its heart tells it to let go of the past completely. The caterpillar changes into something entirely new, a chrysalis, and the fire within, kindled by trust in its path and embracing the unknown, melts the ice that had covered its heart away. It is reborn as a butterfly, transformed completely, showing its true colours openly. |

It carries its healing wisdom to all the flowers and herbs like, even the ones, that are hardest to reach, the ones not visited by bees, never judging by scent or colour and its heart whispers gently, "Trust." It does not speak with its mouth, for it its one with all of creation and sees no need in manifesting any riches for itself. It sings its beautiful song from the heart instead, greeting all of creation with unconditional love, sharing its wealth. |
