Butterflies are powerful symbols of transformation, and especially entering spiritual maturity and freedom. The of the lif cycle of a butterfly...caterpillar nearly crawling on its belly, building itself a cocoon, stuggling to emerge from the chrysalis and then spreading its wings to fly away and come and visit you! TWICE!! That is such a very cool thing!!!
*I was once on a retreat and had a similar encounter with a dragonfly...the same one followed me through he woods and would land near me or on me when I would take a break. I'll never forget looking eye to eye with that dragonfly! It was my own personal guide!! AMAZING!!!
