There is a survey going on at the moment to record sightings and colours (what I call their personalities)of the butterflies. There is something about a butterfly. Its like a soft gentle spirit silently passing by and hovering over the perfume of the sweet smelling flowers.They are like angels, drifting on the air, a creature that stops us in our path and draws from us a breath of delight - an AH moment - and leaves our heart feeling warm and fuzzy. They are those little angels that delight us at the time we are looking to God for comfort or peace or just an uplifting of our spirits yet when we think about its transformation from a caterpillar to this beautiful spirit we are left in wonder. Maya Angelou said:We delight in the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty
May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in all ways.
Anne, servant of the Lord.-
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly. (Richard Bach) |
