Flutter

The life of a tummy butterfly is an interesting one. For a while, flocks of butterflies reside in the deep dark depths of your body. You feel their fluttering in your heart, in your toes, in your fingers, and arms. This can go on for days, weeks, months, or even years in some cases. Whatever the situation, these tummy butterflies are a sign that somewhere along the line, your heart and your head have begun to go wild; focusing is difficult, decisions are harder to make, and often times, you work your whole life around such simple things.

Yet, the most beautiful thing in the world is when the tummy butterflies escape their home and make it out into the world. This happens at a pivotal moment in a person’s life; it happens when that same head and heart that have been fighting for control have finally sighed a great sigh of relief. What I have seen so far is that when this sigh of relief is finally sighed, it is a great surprise and it shocks the body into releasing the butterflies. But see, what no one knows is that when they are inside the body, the butterflies are colorless and look like moths, and at the amazing moment of release, as soon as they touch the air, they gain the colors of the rainbow in every texture and pattern imaginable.

Tummy butterflies evolve into striking creatures of the wind, furiously flapping their happy wings while leaving tiny particles of dreams and wishes behind them to drift off into the atmosphere. They fly away to find new homes and create beauty in the world, leaving behind their old homes with a feeling of calm and peaceful tranquility. Purple, fuchsia, violet, teal, goldenrod, kelly green, emerald, butterflies the color of fire and water and smoke and earth swirl and float in and around you, bless your heart with a kiss and send you off to feel a new heartbeat. Soon, you’ll discover that these butterflies are bringers of love, true and full, love. New, isn’t it? :)
