Butterfly Love
Butterfly Love
Fluttering about fairy gardens,
vivid colors and purposeful lives,
butterflies know their calling.
Eat until they are filled and full,
build a protective crysalis,
until they emerge as butterflies.
An artist and storyteller
by the name of Eric Carle
brought a hungry caterpillar
into the homes of many families.
School teachers brought the story
into classrooms and inspired children.
That’s what happens when a seed is planted
in a book, in art, in voice—
It lasts forever in the artfulness, in the
Imaginations of humankind.
Butterflies live on when the world
keeps feeding them
with fairy gardens, simple garden paths,
massive wildflower fields,
all this by caring for the lands.
Help butterflies live
whatever length of time they can
as they are called to be,
as we are called to support.

Finding Quiet
Finding Quiet
In the silver tones of crystals streaming
In the energies from the silent quartz
In the release of sludge from throat chakras
In the comforts from citrine in my gutt
Resting in the moment of releases
I realize there is nothing quiet
About finding peace within any souls
