From Grief to Joy

When someone that we love dearly passes over, it does not help at that moment to know that is is appropriate. For when the moment occurs, the hurt is there, and at that moment no amount of astral wisdom will replace the welling up of emotion.

So it is appropriate to mourn.

But it is also a window of opportunity, even at our lowest ebb to discover a path to quickened enlightenment, a search for peace that would never have happened except for the gift of that person.

So sorrow can be transmuted to joy and healing, a new enlightenment. Paraphrased from Kryon

The Butterfly Chronicles

Sunday I witnessed another miracle from Creator. My fennel plant had been playing host to several species of butterflies and moths. It has again been eaten down to twigs. I had been watching closely the progress of 5 swallowtail butterfly chrysallis. Sunday morning when I went to check, 4 had already emerged from their chrysallis 1 had flown away. The other 3 were flexing their wings and making ready to leave. The last one was soon to emerge, you could see the colors of the wings through the chrysallis. When it did come out and clung to the twig, its wings were folded and small against it's body. It took several hours for the wings to stretch and strengthen. As I watched I felt the energy of the butterfly. It was amazingly courageous, and patient. There was a very strong feeling of gentle power. I would hope we could all move through our own lives with gentle patient courage. Butterfly are strong energy. Sing your Song, Prairie Woman
