A BUTTERFLY LEGEND

For the love of butterflies...

A simple native american poem about the legend of the butterfly. All my life, I have loved and protected butterflies and bees....my totem, I have been told, is the butterfly....my wings are delicate, as my heart is pure love, the dust from my wings may easily be rubbed and weakened, only then do I remember that my strenghth comes in flight and fancy. 

An Indian Butterfly Legend

If anyone desires a wish to come true they must
capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it.

Since they make no sound, they can’t tell the wish
to anyone but the Great Spirit.

So by making the wish and releasing the butterfly
It will be taken to the heavens and granted <3

Butterfly Butterfly

Butterfly, Butterfly

Hoping to catch your eye
Circling around you, oh my
Butterfly, butterfly, come into the light
Oh, what a beautiful sight
Flying so gracefully
Into the sky, the butterfly
Trying to catch a butterfly
Fly, fly, fly, butterfly
There he sets upon the mums
I'm having so much fun
Here's another on the sill
Your standing so still
You go to touch him
There he goes, the butterfly
I hear a tapping on the window
It's the butterfly, fly, fly, fly
There he goes into the sky
Flying so high, the butterfly
I'll see you another day
Butterfly, butterfly, away

A Portland Spring

We embrace Summer in Portland with open arms, and longing hearts. Summer is the time of year we live for in the Pacific Northwest. We are green and lush, with dense forests of old growth trees, tall pines that touch the sky with glory, mossy hillsides, and earthy smells. 

This time of year, in early Spring, while the rain is still falling, we wake everyday, rush to the window, is it cloudy ? Raining ? or cold ? When we glimpse even a hint of sun, we smile, ready for the day, all the while reminding ourselves, as we count down the days, until Summer arrives, and once again feel the warmth of the sun as it caresses our skin. And so it goes, in Portland, Oregon, as we embrace another Summer…
