Lavender Butterfly

Missing image

And she spoke
with a loving tongue
and curved lips

to my heart ~
  through my soul

of me
and all I am

'to know ones self is enlightenment
being the master of my thoughts and mind'

And she is me

fluttering through sunshine 

believing

   and breathing
                        my existence within...

    fantastic. I looked at this a few ways, firstly as your soul speaking to you, telling you exactly who you are and filling you with self belief. Secondly I imagined your inner child walking beside you through a dry field kicking up clouds of butterflies as you walked and talked. Really good images, positive and full of energy. I have a passion for colour and Lavender reminds me of violets and Rosemarry flowers, soring and fresh, clean...

    Sorry got carried away there...lol

    I love the way you have spoken to us in such a subtle manner about the essential unity of all things ... guiding us gently from duality (the light-being speaking to an apparently separate entity called "me") to oneness (the light-being IS you) ...
    there is no better way of showing us the nature of enlightenment, including love, including wisdom, being it all ...

    thank you so much,
    maa

    Amazing. We must know ourselves before we can fully know any other.

    May you continue to flutter through sunshine!

    Oh my!
    Talk about beautiful reflections... this is a very visual and soft image. It reminded me of a watercolor painting. such a beautiful flow of vibrancy depicting truth in your essence. True enlightenment comes from the ability to see, accept and understand ones reality. This you have illustrated quite well. Best wishes in the comp
