Monarch Butterfly (Listen while you read)
The way to your heart; indeed. The way to your heart is via the beauty that you see.
(Oh yes, my friends; beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
And what, pray tell, do you see?
Come with me on a journey; a journey that could take as little time as it would take to blink an eye.
We do not mean to confuse, dear heart. No, it is not our intention to confuse. However, we see many being confused by their surrounds.
Indeed, dear ones; if it is death and destruction one sees in their surrounds, there would seem to be a need for compensation to be given should they perceive the ‘entire’ world in this fashion. This is not the case, dear hearts. There is most certainly death and destruction happening in the world; however, we would ask that you confine your thinking to ‘your’ world.
If you are one who is experiencing death and destruction we would ask that you turn your thinking to those who are not experiencing this situation.
Should you be one of those who is not experiencing death and destruction we would ask that you place your thoughts, not on death and destruction, for this will only enhance those energies; making them more powerful than they already are.
Does this seem like an impossibility, dear heart? Does it seem to be a significant ideal within the lives of humans? Is it possible to discount the death and destruction in the world, and allow yourself to refrain from thinking about it?
Some would say this is turning a ‘blind eye’, as it is said. Some would say that this is ignorance breeding ignorance.
We would suggest, dear ones, this is ‘life’ preserving. We would suggest that if you cannot do anything substantial by way of making this condition better; then your thoughts will only contribute to the negativity.
Live your life with a sense of ‘presence’. Yes, that’s right. Live your life in whatever circumstances you find yourself. Do not place yourself in energies that are not of your making, or your good. No, dear hearts. This is what the Monarch butterfly suggests to those who enjoy its beauty:
Live; not your brother’s; not your sister’s life. No, dear ones; this is their experience. Live your own life, and leave others to live theirs.)

Thank You… That is very kind of you to say.. 🙂
beautiful..& so very true…
Thank You, Sriram…
May I say; I love your photos. They are taken with your heart…
Live and let live. I’ve used this expression before, and it works here, again. Thanks for the insightful post, Carolyn.- R xo
Yes, Resa; it does come down to that in a nutshell… You are good at that.. 😉 xoxoxo
xoxoxo
Very beautifully said, Carolyn.
Thank You, Yaz… so kind of you.. 🙂
a little confused, a little wise 🙂
a little mixture…! 🙂
these posts are treasure of your blog!
Lovely!
Thank You, and thanks for dropping by…! 🙂
Death is inevitable, that is where we all are going. Don’t ignore it. Accept it, celebrate it and live in the “now”. Take whatever comes, kill your ego and let yourself fly…
Oh, I’ll definitely fly with you…. Where shall we go??? 🙂
inspiring and like the monarch butterfly:)
They’re gorgeous little creatures; that’s for sure… 🙂
Great advice. A heavy essay but well done in your beautifully unique way.
Yes, it was a bit of a mouthful, Kim. I think Resa summed it up very well with her – “Live and Let Live” quote…
If we can’t help, we shouldn’t worry…!
Very.. (Dare I say it?) beautiful post!
Why do I see myself bowing with thanks before you..?
Thank You, my dear Hook… Your comments are always a pleasure..
Beautifully written and spoken. And it is true that negative thoughts tend to bring with them external woes.
Yes, it does seem to be that way, Smaktakula… negativity breeding negativity…!
Better to stay with the positive; else we become a part of the problem..!
Of course, that doesn’t imply ‘not understanding or appreciating’ the negative aspects. More a case of having a firm grasp of reality however, not allowing it to invade our own lives to the extent that it troubles us. After all; if we can’t do anything constructive by way of ‘helping’ a negative situation to be better, then our energies are better focused elsewhere.
Very inspiring, refreshing and beautifully written.
Wow; Thank You…! Your comment is also very inspiring….!
A powerful reflection! Syria ( and all the world attached) came to mind, as a death and destruction. Many who are trying to help, must see the Monarch reflection inside themselves, otherwise they would not be able to continue on.
Myself, it’s time to walk in the sun, and shed some of my own personal D&D energy. Actually, walking under clouds works, too.
Thank you, Carolyn! xoxoxoxo
Precisely, Resa; yes, well said.
You’ve encapsulated it in a nutshell; as is your wonderful way!
