I will always remember
the saying of a poet :
” When I see a butterfly
I think of God ”
From now on I can’t miss
these little colored dreams,
I notice all butterflies.

Very nice, yann. It seems to me there aren't as many butterflies now as there used to be, sad.

Me too, me too. I love your thoughts here, dear Yann.

I am sure souls are able to manifest temporarily within the form of butterflies ...

I am happy to have read this today, as it is my Mom's anniversary. Hope to see her fluttering nearby to say "I love you"....

Much enjoyed!

Love,
Margherita

Me too, Yann - for me a butterfly is the very proof of the existence and His wonderful creations and I see God in the delicate beauty and bright colours of a butterfly's wings . . .

I love your poem.

Yo Yann,

Once when I lived in the country, I was caught in the middle of a butterfly migration.  There were thousands of them all over the place.

Yann~
You sent sweet memories of my mother wafting gentle across my heart~

Her earthly Spirit was found in the flutter of butterflies ... it doesn't surprise me one little bit that her Heavely Spirit of angelic beauty is found in the wings of her~

Thank you so much for the gentle remind~

Hi Ida, may be when we get old we don't pay attention so much...I really don't know, however  it seems to me that there is indeed not so much either beautiful butterflies in lmy country too....And you must consider yourself as happy, american butterflies are nicier and bigger than european butterflies....
