Beautiful.

Yael said...

Wow - first of all this is a lovely drawing with sweet words Rachel! Then I thought: What? Flying across continents? A butterfly? I googled to learn more, and it is true, butterflies can fly across continents and oceans and the Monarch Butterfly for example can fly up to 130km (!!!) a day! Unbelievable!
What does it mean? Great strength to the humble and small too! :-)
Thank you for teaching us all kind of things Rachel, and making us think about many more! :-)

Diane said...

Amazing fact that I didn't know either--which tells me even more why I LOVE butterflies--thank you for your meaningful art!

What a wonderful reminder that something so small and humble can also be incredibly strong. Your artwork is eye-opening and full of good energy.

oh rachel.
sudden sweet tears
on sipping the beauty
from these words
and from your own
gossamer wings.
Altogether beautiful.
Love and thanks,
Jennifer
