Something as simple as a butterfly can bring someone happiness and serenity as it did to you. I also like how no matter where you go in the world you can always find some way to break the language barrier between people (not to sure if the young woman spoke a different language) But I remember I few years ago when I went to Jamaica we went swimming with the dolphins and we go paired up with a group from Brazil who spoke portuguesse. I thought it would be hard to socialize with them but ended up being very fun because shared our language and they shared theirs :)Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567258099266602567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45195670928399270.post-69321994413282531552011-06-13T10:31:20.558-07:002011-06-13T10:31:20.558-07:00I was in and out of a dream state all night after ...I was in and out of a dream state all night after reading again your blog and text. The beautiful, little butterfly kept hovering about, and I began to see the deeper, quieter message you wrote about. I have experienced such moments before - <br />they don't come often, but they do come. You're<br />right: they are life-enhancing. They bring us in touch with a life force that is healing and whole and giving. At this challenging time in my life, I'll meditate on this lovely meeting you and the Luba Citrin had! It does bring serenity. Thanks so much, Tonia!Virginia Shabataynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45195670928399270.post-11000200042920793502011-06-12T14:28:34.528-07:002011-06-12T14:28:34.528-07:00The quiet and gentle energy between you and this s...The quiet and gentle energy between you and this strikingly beautiful butterfly was a lovely and real meeting. How can I thank you for sharing this stunning experience, especially at this time when I was in need of just this sort of touch and care? I hold it close to my heart, and it brings smiles and solace and joy.<br /><br />The energy that connects all living creatures is a gift really. We creatures speak different languages, but communicate we do – if we are open and allow the “Other” in.<br />It is dazzling when we extend ourselves to a horse, a deer, a butterfly, and they recognize our silent invitation and our welcoming hand and then come to us.<br /><br />So, dear Tonia, thank you for posting this blog<br />and dedicating it to me. We all keep each other<br />not just going but thriving. It is the sustenance we need. It is the mystery of the sacred.<br /><br />With love, GinnyVirginia Shabataynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45195670928399270.post-31896537214898312912011-06-11T20:43:34.629-07:002011-06-11T20:43:34.629-07:00In my letter I did forget that you recently took a...In my letter I did forget that you recently took a trip for your birthday, which was good to hear as you work hard and deserve a break for all you do for our school and life in general. The part about the butterfly spreading its wings for you seems surreal, which is pretty cool and I'm glad you had the chance to experience that. Sometimes people wonder why I post a bajillion pictures of my cats every week; it's my "me time" that I like and the little things that cats do (like imitate circles) brings a smile to my face. <br />I really do wish you good health and happiness and blog posts like this affirm that. <br /><3 ElizabethElizabeth Sykesnoreply@blogger.com
