Greetings! I am thrilled to share this new creation based on and using the music of Blossom Violet a musician and teacher here on Insight Timer. Her audio track, "Grace of a Butterfly", is the soundscape and inspiration for this journey. The Butterfly is amazing! Seemingly fragile but oh so powerful and resilient. I identify with the Butterfly, how it moves through stages in it's own time and has to work diligently to be released from the chrysalis. The Butterfly exemplifies grace and beauty. Each one is unique yet exquisite. I honor the Butterfly with this track and use its presence and attributes as a metaphor for life. I had fun creating this project, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you, Blossom Violet, for sharing this peaceful, joyful music. Visit Violet's profile for the complete track of "Grace of a Butterfly", Violet's inspired music LIVE sessions, and more. Join me LIVE as well- Reiki, Education, Meditation, Discussion, Love!

Oh butterfly,

You instantly captivate me with your hues and your quiet resolve.

I am awed that one so graceful,

So delicate,

Can hold such strength.

Oh butterfly,

You've taught me that growth unfolds with time,

That fully emerging and overcoming barriers takes effort,

But it is worth it.

You prompt me to absorb the sweetness all around,

And to share it wherever I journey,

Wherever I land next.

Oh butterfly,

From you I learn the gift of presence despite challenges.

I see how resting and withdrawing can give birth to lasting discovery and profound change.

You embrace the simplicity of roosting with your neighbors for security,

For support.

You prove that seeking solace from storms and great upheaval can be life-saving.

Thank you,

Oh butterfly,

For showing me that beauty can display in the lightest,

Smallest forms,

And reminding me that an ephemeral life holds joy,

Value,

Purpose.

Oh butterfly,

Let's take flight,

Soar together,

And share our brilliance,

Moment by fleeting moment,

For as long as we exist.

I just love poetry reading! The delivery was well paced. And the calm and gentle delivery made it easy to visualize the flitting butterfly 🦋 The crazier the world gets, the more I turn to Mother Nature for inspiration. Namaste 🙏🏼

That was beautiful Gina. I totally could envision myself and the time it takes to grow visualizing the caterpillar in the cocoon and the wriggling of the cocoon as the beautiful butterfly emerges and opens its wings. Fly o butterfly fly with your friends and thank you for your beauty. ✌️❤️
