Thank you for the beautiful insights. And for being a force of good in this world (and reminding us that we too have these abilities, revealed in how we talk about ourselves.) 🦋

Feels like a synchronicity— I was just talking to a friend about the caterpillar transition from cocoon to butterfly, which is guided by imaginal cells. How we imagine and language ourselves (and our futures) matters. In this case language acts in a similar manner to imaginal cells.

I really love this. Yes, metamorphosis is a great analogy.👍🏼

We are going to need to put out water dishes or fountains for what is going to be an extremely hot dry season, with natural water sources drying up, for our fragile wildlife. Birds, butterflies… will need the water.

Yes, especially after this winter.

You ARE a force for good in this world. I too have had butterflies land on me and walk around and hang out on several occasions. It’s always a tiny miracle.

Amanda Royal's avatar

Yes, "tiny miracle"!

Beautiful experience with the butterflies. I'm trying not to be jealous. And many thanks for collecting these stories of hope to share with us, starting our day with something positive.
