What could seem more carefree than butterflies on a summer day, floating leisurely from blossom to blossom? Even the mental image of them conjures up fairytale scenes of happiness. They seem to touch life so lightly one might well imagine their consciousness to be blissful.
Something inside us resonates with the atmosphere of the butterfly. It is something deep within that wants to fly free and unhurried through life, touching it lightly, and being fully present for the duration of our wondrous journey here. It is our "butterfly nature", longing to emerge from our cocoon of self.
