This beauty came to my garden recently. She was so still and so beautiful.

To witness a butterfly’s grace and charm can add color to an otherwise dull existence, brightening up our path as we go through life’s journey. To see the butterfly flutter from flower to flower can stop the madness of thought and insist becoming present.

Many see a butterfly’s life as a reflection of the spiritual path; its metamorphosis symbolizing transformation, an aspect that most of us experience at a certain point in our lives as we have all transformed in one way or another.

Some also see a butterfly as the presence of a mother or grandmother spirit guide. Sometimes a significant message communicated by the butterfly concerns our ability to tackle necessary changes with elegance and lightness. Perhaps a female energy in your life is whispering for you to pay attention and listen.

What do you think when you see a butterfly?
