Butterflies, the symbol of new life and rebirth are fluttering all around me.
They circle my head, land on my arms and dance around my feet.
I've never seen so many butterflies....
never seen so many kinds.
Delicate wings...colors like sky and grass and the earth.
Their flight is a motion of freedom and calmness and is so beautiful to see.
Please let death be a butterfly with our loved ones soaring in an existence that is too wonderful for us to comprehend!
