Today I saw a butterfly
her blue speckled wings
glistened in the sunlight
the magic of her metamorphosis
danced around in the winds
She flew over the sagebrush
and landed on red sandy soil
resting awhile
opening and closing her wings
a silent rhythmic drumbeat
sending wave after wave
of the knowledge she holds
about naturally transforming
I’m following the path of Butterfly
together we can join the dance of the butterflies
in the passionate pursuit of becoming
fully who we are here to be
We too can create space for transformation
sheltering
dissolving
dismantling what has been
shaping new forms
awakening into new cycles
weaving new webs of relationship
within us, between us, and all around
When it is time
according to our inner knowing
our ancestors and lineages
and wisdom living in the earth and stars
we’ll open the doorway
step through the threshold
warm our wings in the sun and fly
into the magic of our own metamorphosis
into a beautiful, loving world
beyond our wildest dreams
Thank you ?
Yes ???
Thank you for this inspiration on this first day of the new year! ?
And all the Beauty from total chaos.

Thank you.
Oh, dearest Soul. Thank you, for putting into gracious words what the spirit of butterfly conveys. That last verse, about opening the doorway, stepping through the threshold..into the magic of metamorphosis…touched a depth. Yes, flying into a beautiful, loving world. Yes, beyond our wildest dreams. Love you. Thank you for being you.

“When it is time…”
thank you JoAnne..
A few days ago I was reading about the transformation within the cocoon. As the caterpillar dissolves into a sort of primordial goo, what is left are a set of cells called imaginal cells. These cells can become anything that is needed amidst the complete transformation and are what forms the butterfly.
