A poem about self-love and empowerment. Taking risks from a space of deep inner knowing and trust. This deep inner knowing and trust is developed from self-reflection, taming the mind, and a practice of realigning with your sacred self.

butterfly lesson

A bright yellow butterfly with blue and black accents

fluttered her way to my garden,

landed ever so softly

with grace and ease upon an orange flower.

She safely and peacefully sipped nectar.

Gazing upon her beauty,

I transcended into a meditative state.

I couldn’t help but hear the butterfly’s message,

of expansion.

With celestial music vibrating in my soul,

I clearly heard the words —

I’d rather open my heart, be vulnerable, and take risks

than hold back love, be guarded, and fearful.

— Stacy
