A BUTTERFLY ENCOUNTER

The butterfly is the pure symbol of transformation and metamorphosis. In ancient Christianity traditionally the butterfly was the symbol of the soul. Through their lovely colours and joyful fluttering, butterflies seem to dance through life rather than to fly. They remind us not to take life too seriously. Whenever we see a butterfly, we are touched by their beauty; they give us a feeling of lightness and joy. They dance and seem to enjoy it. Whenever a butterfly crosses our path, it reminds us that we can also dance our lives. We can feel joyful. We may be colourful. Why walk when we can dance?
