When the Soul Remembers its Wings
Brenda Forsey — May 19, 2017
Butterflies are such gentle creatures.
They flit from flower to flower,
emerging from a cocoon as they transform
from caterpillar to butterfly… how beautiful.
Their bodies change completely from one state to another.
They begin creeping along the ground, using muscles,
eating, storing energy —
and then, in time, they blossom into flying, winged beings,
beautifully colored and delicately adorned.
What a life these Butterflies have.
We are mirror this concept as well:
I feel that we are the caterpillar when we are born.
We don’t know much at first.
We learn through experience,
navigate life as best we can,
living in a physical world that supplies our comfort and our needs.
Then, at some point, something shifts.
We begin to think outside the box —
to ask what makes us tick.
Each of us, in our own way,
finds a doorway into love and light,
into, inner knowing,
and the realization that everything is possible
and that we are part of a much bigger picture.
We shed our skin, metaphorically speaking.
We allow our soul to take flight within us
as we traverse the earth,
learning why we are here.
Our thoughts take on more luster and light.
We experience more miracles.
We allow unseen forces to work through us.
Some discover this early in life.
Others live many years before awakening
to the gifts within.
Like the butterfly,
we pass through a chrysalis period —
and then we emerge whole.
Everything changes.
We experience transformation
by allowing our bodies, minds, and emotions
to feel life fully —
to move through trials and tribulations,
to open into an awareness
as deep as the ocean.
It is a miracle that we are here.
Through awakening, we remember why.
Through opening our hearts fully,
through breathing in the energy of love,
we heal.
We feel full —
full of ourselves,
soul and body merged as one.
We are connected to everyone
through this beautiful web of love,
stretching around the earth,
radiant and alive.
We experience not just for ourselves,
but for the whole —
meeting life with joy,
with eagerness to learn,
to discover mysteries pondered by philosophers
for eons.
The butterfly, in its own way, does this too.
Our animal kingdom is already waiting for us
to become our most radiant selves,
so we may communicate with them as well.
What a beautiful planet we live on.
And we are all a part of it.
As we fill ourselves with love,
with joy’s gentle sparkle,
we pause… and simply be.
One in the energy of all.
A soul connecting with all souls.
An energy of healing and love upon the planet —
helping the Earth become
a golden orb of love in the universe.
— Let your light move through the world as love. —
