Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls. The Christian religion sees the butterfly as a symbol of resurrection. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope, and life. In Chinese mythology, a green butterfly is a symbol of good. It also represents love and prosperity.

Some think that encountering a green butterfly represents growth and flourishing development, whether that means a flourishing relationship, business or personal hobby. To some, a green colored butterfly can represent good luck and money. It is also thought that seeing a green butterfly indoors, or flying near the home, can mean success in a business or venture.

I love the shape of beetles. We get some iridescent beauties here on our farm. This one is enchanted. :)

Stay in your job too long, and you will eventually work your way through your desk drawer bottle of ibuprofen. It expired in 2013, but still works pretty well. #symbolism

Since silence of the Earth speaks to my heart
through vibrant pull of psychic energy
I try to translate vision of its hope
to words that conjure action I perform
for I am glow of sunlight in my brain

Flowers From The Earth

Or I could stand out in the pouring rain,
soul defined by body my mind designs,
and think about the strangers in the world
I follow on each social media site
who search for happiness in singing spells
that blossom
