I have chosen to call
upon Butterfly for the over-all theme of this web site. In Native American Animal Medicine
Butterfly represents Transformation. Click on the Butterfly (left) to read
more about Native Animal Medicine, generally, and the Butterfly specifically.
This web site is dedicated
to the liver of life, the seeker of
more, and to all of you who, like I,
were wounded, have incurred many
heart-wrenching losses, endured much
pain and still search for a better,
happier and more peaceful way. It is
there for the finding. It must first
be found from deep within yourself. Each
one of us will identify a different, individual
"happier" or more "peaceful". To look for
something that we might think others have or
"everyone else" has is to fool ourselves into
suffering needlessly based upon cognitively
distorted and unworthy comparisons.
All you have to do, is follow your path
on your journey in your life. For your way,
is the right way for you.
True to the reality of this web
site, "Build it and they will come."
As I continue to be blessed and
humbled in my own life by my own
capacity to heal, to learn, change
and continue to grow more authentically
me, day by day, it is an honour,
"to work in the service of life
and the living in search of the
answers to questions unknown. To
be part of the movement, part of
the growing, part of beginning to
understand..." -- (Calypso- by John Denver)
None of us will ever have all
of the answers to all of the
questions life presents us with.
Life will never be a pain-free
experience. Continue to seek
what you need and want to find
in life and know that the more you
can be who you really are, who you
are really meant to be, the more
peace and contentment you will find
in your busy times and your quiet
times, your alone times and times
shared in the company of others.
To honestly enjoy life, life requires
that you live it honestly from a
deep-seated and heart-felt
soulfully-spirited self that
gently opens its arms in and through
integrity and courage to all who
cross your path.
And Butterflies are free to fly...
Not only is a butterfly a representative
symbol for a process of development or
re-birth and freedom but think of your
healing journey, your life journey, your
growth as a butterfly that you've been holding
tightly in your hand, guarding it, protecting,
but keeping it from being free to fly. Open
your hands, palms up, risk enough to trust, let
the butterfly that is your inner-most soulful
self, transform itself and free itself.
Be a butterfly. Seek the
transformation that your soul
yearns for today. You will know
many forms before you take flight.
If you so choose "you will become
a butterfly...fly abandonly into
the sun..." (Mariah Carey) Open
your soul, heart and mind to all
the riches that are buried deep
within you for you to find. Each
one of us has the capacity to heal.
Healing is a life-long journey.
Stay on your path (and there are so many
paths) and be true to yourself.
