Butterfly Wishes


"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower." Hans Christian Andersen





















"If anyone desires a wish to come true they must first capture a butterfly and whisper that wish to it. Since a butterfly can make no sound, the butterfly can not reveal the wish to anyone but the Great Spirit who hears and sees all. In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom, the Great Spirit always grants the wish. So, according to legend, by making a wish and giving the butterfly its freedom, the wish will be taken to the heavens and be granted."
Papago Tribe Legend

BAGUIO FOG: Sunbeam Etchings on a Misty Morning

It was a misty December morning. Fog settled everywhere creating a canopy of whiteness -  an invasion of sort by puffs of cloud. Sunbeam pierced the blanket of opalescence. Etching rays of sunlight. Creating a highway to heaven, and an illusory portal to the universe. The rings of sunlight drew focus to tinges of pinks & purples... Beckoning for attention. And how could one ignore? Such mesmerizing astral beauty. A visual interpretation of the saying, Behind the clouds is the sun still shining. Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,The Rainy Day, 1841  Snapshots by Russia Lei G.

LOVE & LETTING GO

"Always remember that the time to love is short." Love is a gift. It may come in fleeting moments. It is a seed that comes through our senses, nurtured by the thumping of the heart. It gnaws the soul for nourishment, and bears fruit in our spirit. Such other trivial passions would just wither in time. But when you find love, savor it.     Opening up one's self to the universe with it milieu of probabilities is liberating. There may be a hundred and one offerings. But we have to choose which one. To be, or not to be. To hold on, or to let go. Holding on meant getting stuck in one's comfort zone which may get bereft of insecurities and convert to pain. But if it is not for you, then letting go is sweet. You get washed up with myriads of feelings. It is like a beam of sunlight hitting a prism. From there would sprang all the colors of the rainbow. It makes one really happy with all its lightness ...
