Daily Nugget #146
the rose & the butterfly
i took a deep breath in
and
the rose fills me.
it came in thru the front
saturated all of me
and
exited out the back.
again it happened.
and again and again.
the air is full of many things.
what will you add?
will you add your thoughts of worry
of pain
of regret
or
will you add your love of nature
your gratitude for this day
your smile. your joy. your song?
a butterfly crossed my path
mingled with my essence
landed and took flight.
soft and free.
a bird announced my arrival.
i did not know her name
but she seemed to know mine.
‘i can see you now’
a friend says.
my essence
my light
shining forth
hidden no more.
what am i adding to the air
to the song
to the flight?
i reach in and grab of pinch of light
and
sprinkle it on the bee that died on my windowsill.
i pick flowers to offer the beings that reside in my garden.
i go thru the closet of my life
and
release everything that doesn’t fit me anymore.
doesn’t fit my body
doesn’t fit my spirit.
not now
not anymore.
i release it.
i emerge from my cocoon
and
take flight in to my newness.
i sing my song as i fly from tree to tree.
i fill others with the scent of my joy
and
allow it to wash thru them.
i am the rose.
i am the butterfly.
i am the bird.
i am me.
