Embrace Butterflies
Yes, it’s so easy to do!
Figuratively.

Build a chrysalis –
Then sequester for a while.
Pop! You’re beautiful!

We all sequestered –
We had to during COVID-
Now we’re emerging.

Some folks are fearful –
Thinking COVID’s not over.
Maybe it isn’t.

With the variant
Running rampant in places,
Some crawled back inside.

Some still wear their masks;
Some won’t go to restaurants –
Prefer home dining.

Remaining inside
Is important for some folks –
Others spread their wings.

Like these butterflies,
Each situation’s different.
So, to each his own!

One of the lessons I learned during this past year and a half or so is that no two people react exactly the same to the same stimulus. We hear through our own filters. We see through our own past experiences. We can’t lay our trip on someone else! We all built our own chrysalis and stayed inside as long as we felt we needed to. Some are inside still. We all will emerge more beautiful in our own sweet time, if we allow our “feelers” to engage with our own needs while respecting the needs of others.

Embrace the butterfly.
Fly when you’re ready.
See ya in Big Sky!

Love ya,
JanBeek
