I read the butterfly story and like it very much. What you speak of makes a lot of sense and is a good lesson. I would like to make one comment though, about the biology of butterflies, which most people forget once they leave school. Butterflies FORM a chrysalis, not spin it. (did you know the pupas already have wings just under their outer layer, what we would call skin, which are forced to the surface just before the chrysalis is formed?). Some types of moths SPIN cocoons, but most form a chrysalis like butterflies. Just thought you would like to know. Hi Sora,

Thank you for saying what so many of us are challenged to express - the juxtaposition between the good, the bad, and the ugly facets of life. How important it is to live in the now - in life's bounty. Which also means being open to the heartbreak of loss and devastation. As a mother of a son with autism, I am constantly given the opportunity to see the beauty in the seemingly bizarre and am privileged to witness miracles daily.

Especially true for me is how you captured the awarness of the sense of being was a result of knowing in ones bones we were connected to something much larger than ourselves or even the magical connections we made with each other. Lovely my friend, Lizzi Hi Sor’a,
Wonderful to here my own experience of the Maui passage reflected in your words.

Lovely my friend,

I feel connected to you and not overwhelmed by you...and I get your point. When I was on a silent retreat this fall, I was inspied to make presents for my family this year. The ideas that came to me were all from the heart, sharing what I appreciate about them and/or reflecting back to them who they are so they can remember. What I have found is that it has been a journey of pure joy and a gift for me to spend time contemplating my loved ones and what they bring to my world. Simplicity. Love. Appreciation. These seem to be the elements that help my world shine.

Thank you my dear for putting into words what I've been lately experiencing. I like to think there are many of us "awakening" and growing all at the same time, individually yet sooooo collectively. I love your words today and am thankful our paths have crossed. Continue shining, beautiful lady. You are loved. Sora,

I think many women feel as you do, a temporary human (female) condition. Although my life is full, like you often I create experiences and fill my time to the brim. When I have time to myself it is full to creating more experiences - I feel like I'm an experience junkie. I want to be in a white space at times, I want to just sit and allow the space around me fill up with spirit. In need to slow down, I need to help others less just for a moment. I like who I am, I like what I do, I am loved and blessed. At times I feel like a puzzle that is scattered about the floor, no pieces missing but each piece not in harmony with the others. Other times I am at peace in my gratitude for my health, for love, for my own wonderful talents and spiritual knowledge that brings me peace. Not quite a roller coaster of feelings - more of a slight pause to assess what the hell I am doing. What we all are doing is living life as humans. Not a perfect existence because we came to this from perfection. Although perfection I don't think would be boring - we choose to be human with all it's wonderful confusions, pain, joy, creativity and most of all love. I believe I chose to be Sue as a temporary existence - soon over. You Sora are an amazing woman and most of all I love your vulnerability and the risks you take to speak your truths. It helps us all.
