A chequered swallowtail joined me in the garden last weekend. As I potted around, hands in the earth the butterfly kept shifting it's position and sometimes flying around me, so and sat down and tuned into the moment.
Magical moments are always so incredibly simple.
Butterflies are often linked to transformation and hope. In native America cultures butterflies were bringers of inspiration and dreams. In aboriginal culture the butterfly also symbolises personal transformation, and spiritual evolution.
Butterflies to me are magnificent.
They are vibrant and beautiful.
Whenever I see butterflies I will stop, taking the time to breathe into the moment before me.
Being present.
Being present in a moment is something vastly alien to most people in the modern world.
Nowadays people are far too busy doing that they have forgotten how to be still and connected.
I take many little breaks throughout my day whenever something catches my eye, or I just need to breathe.
I can't imagine myself being constantly busy by the mindless distractions that are created to keep us disconnected.
The dance of the butterfly is truly magical and if you take the time to stop, to watch, you will leave with a little butterfly magic infused in your heart...
