I first published this reflection back in October 2012. I hope you enjoy its second airing!
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.)

Beautiful post!!
Thank You, Leyla; wonderful to see you! ❤
Good and timely repost Carolyn.
Yes, Maverick; I do so agree!
Though, anytime, for we humans, is a good time to be reminded to take care of ourselves. It is so easy to forget to do so… ❤

A purrfect message for a cat that follows the message of the butterfly 😀 Very well told also, dear Carolyn ❤ Pawkisses for a wonderful day 🙂 ❤
Yes, Binky; the butterfly sure knows how to tell a wonderful message. And I know that you, above all else, follow its message with each purr you make.
So good to know both you and Granny. What clever little dancers you are! 😉 😉 ❤

Wonderful comment, Harlon. Thank You… ❤
A beautiful post to reflect on.
Yes indeed, Jo. I’ve found it so myself. The more I reflect, the more I choose calm!
Lovely, as always, to see you, Jo. I’ve been checking your blog every now and then to ensure I haven’t missed a post. Nope, I haven’t… ❤

well said – we must learn the wisdom of what we need and then we must gather our courage 🙂
Yes, Da AL, well said to you, too.
I sit nodding my head in agreement! 🙂
your site is good encouragement 🙂
Thank You; lovely of you to say… ❤
I like your use of the Monarch butterfly for enjoying the beauty of life in the present. Uplifting words, even for those who are in the process of grieving. Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Carolyn ❤
Yes, Christy; it is a very interesting process. I love how you’ve added “even for those who are in the process of grieving”. Grief, too, is a fear. When we recognise this we can choose to investigate the fear.
When we choose to be objective regarding ‘fear’ it is outstandingly rewarding the changes our mental state is then able to create; one enjoying a whole new vista of life.
This does not mean forgetting, or covering up an event. It means seeing clearly, yet without crippling fear that holds us fast and prevents us from moving forward.
Indeed, Christy, we have had a wonderful weekend. It is now bedtime for us in Oz.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend, my dear sweet friend… ❤
