Today's Animal Spirit...Butterfly

Ok...so she's not necessarily an animal, but she flits into our lives today to bring us a valuable message.  Not surprisingly, Butterfly has similar spiritual meaning in every culture in the world.  She brings us the concept of transformation, change, and gentle transition.  Change is very hard for most of us; but by giving in to the flow rather than working against the universal currents, we can arrive at a much better state than we imagined.  The changes that occur in our lives are usually quite different than we expect.  Butterfly teaches us that growth doesn't have to be painful, if we open ourselves to the awareness of her colorful lightness and joyous dance on the winds of life.
In this season of the rebirth of the light/the Sun, let us take time to discern what is important right now, be thankful for our blessings, and above all...don't sweat the small stuff.


An Irish blessing goes: "May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun, and find your shoulder to light on...to bring you luck, happiness and riches today, tomorrow and beyond."


All Blessings Be.  )O(
