Butterflies have always had a curious affect on me. I've written poems in their name and tribute. They are sensitive, soft, sensual, and delicate like their wings. Nature is a wonderful commune. You need to experience its femaleness. I appreciate this taste of inspiration. Thanks. Above all, Create.

i appreciate your kindness of the last tenuous few months. We all need to experience a butterfly dream. I always feel inspired by comments that reach the human heart. I do feel that the origin of creation is an essential part of imagination. That's why I like to apply that tagline at the end of my paragraph.

how beautiful. it can be wonderful to treat your day as a workshop for the imagination.

it's how we give others permission to love what moves inside of them, too.

I think I was holding my breath the whole time I was reading! This is lovely. LOVELY! I was captivated when you went from the lightness and flying poem of a butterfly to the darkness of a caterpillar and the fact that the caterpillar "sews her own" darkness. Beautiful! Well done. Brava! Thank you!
