Encounter With A Butterfly
Here's what happened to me a couple of weeks ago after featuring my guest Kris King of Wings Seminars on the Touching the Stillness prayer and meditation program... The program's Thought For The Day on that Tuesday was, My Heart Has Wings -- the name of Kris' newly launched book.
I thoroughly enjoyed having Kris on the program to talk about the part her meditation practice has played in helping her to overcome major adversity and challenges in her life; ideas which are captured in this beautiful new book of hers.
So that day -- as often happens on a Tuesday when I've done a live broadcast -- I went about my activities on a bit of high. On the way back to my office from a meeting I noticed a white butterfly had landed on my note pad and was totally still. It remained so still in fact that I was wondering whether it was even alive. I gently tapped its wings; they gently fluttered... it was very much alive. Yet the butterfly stayed my notepad as I carried it around the office doing "show and tell" with my coworkers saying..."Look, look, my heart has wings; my heart has wings!"
After allowing myself to be enthralled a few moments longer by the butterfly and the synchronisity of its stillness and the day's theme, I took it outside and gently lifted it off the pad to set it free.
Now, there's a metaphor for freedom, stillness and an overcoming heart whose wings are strenghened and made more beautiful in stillness.
Stay tuned; stay blessed; stay prayed up!
Blessed be...
