While saying farewell to a new friend from London, Lloyd, outside the Hostel Pangea this morning a beautifully colored butterfly landed by our feet. It would fly around us a bit and then land again by our feet. When Lloyd tried to take a picture of it the butterfly flew away.
Thus the animal totem for today is the butterfly. Here is what Linsdomain.com says about the butterfly as a totem:
Transmutation, Dance of Joy
The butterfly is the symbol of change, joy and color.
It is the symbol of the soul.
They remind us that life is a dance,
not to take things quite so seriously.
They also remind us to get up and move.
Dance brings the sweetness of life.
Butterflies bring color and joy to your life.
Look at them and remember what joy is in your life,
if it’s a lot or a little, it is still joy.
They teach us that growth and transformation does not have to traumatic;
it can occur gently, sweetly, and joyfully.
If a butterfly totem has shown up in your life,
make note of the most important issues in your life,
and see what needs to be changed.
What are the most important issues of my life? Relationships seem to be the key, so I suppose I should actively work on my relationships because I know I take them for granted. Everyone in my life is important and those that have stuck around through all the ups and downs of my life are very important indeed.
