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.

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

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 ...
