Butterflies of Spirit butterflies of spirit mine own seeking their place of weathering the winter of me flowed along instinct knowing pathways of air trails of light within knowing already where lay the peaceful grove gathered slowly one by some from those far places of my summering settled like leaves along the branches of your soul |

I like this very much. What a beautiful concept, butterflies of spirit.  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

James, I'd been wondering where you'd gone. It's good to read you again. Beautiful as usual. Take care, miscellanea |

Butterfly spirits... You should have seen the yellow swallowtail butterflies in the Rockies... so abundant... so beautiful! Why...you must have sent them! |

In Pismo Beach and also in Monterey, there are groves of trees where the Monarch butterflies gather to winter over, and to mate in early spring. It's simply incredible to look up at an 80-foot Eucalyptus whose branches are cloaked in brown leaves -- and suddenly realize that all those leaves are butterflies! |

gathered slowly one by some from those far places of my summering settled like leaves along the branches of your soul This is incredibly lovely... as tender as the touch of a butterfly... or a spirit. *S* I didn't know it was possible to write peace... but you did. *S* |
