Last week I shared a poem by William Stafford that spoke to how I wanted to experience my word of the year; "I embrace emerging experience. I participate in discovery. I am a butterfly. I am not a butterfly collector. I want the experience of the butterfly" This Wishcasting Wednesday Jamie has asked What do you wish to experience? I find myself contemplating what the butterfly experiences. ![]() Artwork by Katie Daisy A butterfly pushes and breaks out of it's cocoon, working with all it's might to free itself. This is quite a struggle and from what I've read it's a necessary experience so that it may be strong. Afterward, a butterfly sits and waits allowing its wings time to unfurl and dry. Butterfly then pumps it's wings so they may be tested before it takes flight. The butterfly has a willingness and determination to let go of what was not in alignment with what it is becoming and flies free...off to discover new places of ancient memory to live and grow and start all over again. This speaks to me of cycles...a time reach deep inside and let go of what is not in my highest good to push forward despite any obstacles, a time to wait while integrating and acknowledging the struggle, and a time to assess while preparing for the next phase. That is the deep experience of the butterfly to me. That's what I wish to experience with more mindfulness. My own deep butterfly experience. 4/4/2012 02:37:59

So wonderful that you are giving yourself permission to self pace yourself. To be ready before you leap/fly. Comments are closed.
