Shining Thru

The Butterfly floats to and fro

Fluttering from here to there

Happily enjoying the solitude of the moment

Entering the new life alone and flying on alone

Enjoy the sunshine but looking for more

Looking for something to share with another

The brightly colored insect flutters along the short journey given

The world an overwhelming undertaking as it is released from its restraints

But still it flies on, happy and carefree, enjoying all along the way

Always believing that whatever is missing will be found in this vast world

Leaving others behind and envious of its faith in true happiness that will be found

Found in another when the moment is right and they are both free of restraints

Moving forwards together from the cocoon and into the world to find the rest of life together

It’s nice when you realize that the person you love really does love you for exactly who you are.  It’s nice to know that you are not expected to change, that it’s ok to be who you are.  Even the things that you fear would drive someone away are simply accepted by someone who truly loves you.  It’s so great to know that you don’t  have to that you can be completely honest and that the honesty hasn’t driven the person away….they are still there, still looking in your eyes lovingly and you know that they love you as much as you love them…that you are not alone, not drowning in this powerful emotion that you can’t choose to have or not have…it simply is or is not. 

It’s nice to know that although there is a lot that goes wrong in life or at least not the way you expect things to go…it is a lot easier knowing that you are loved and that your love is accepted with an open heart and returned.  It’s just nice to know that someone cares.  Nice to know that sometimes there really is a perfect fit and that life keeps on going as long as you keep on living and don’t give up.

I think it’s kind of strange the way you really like someone right away and just “click” and yet there are other people you encounter who’s very presence annoys you and grates on your nerves.  I heard at a conference a few months back that there are new studies that say that sometimes your brain is sensitive to the brainwaves of other people and sometimes rejects what it feels and that is the unexplained connection or dislike of some people….now, I don’t know if that is true or not, maybe someone just really wants an explanation, or maybe they really do have proof that some brains just don’t like each other. 

I think it would be nice to simply make a tshirt that states, “my brain doesn’t like your brain” and just get that out of the way off the bat.  It would be nice not to feel guilt for not liking someone just because you don’t like them….

At the same time, it’s kind of nice when you just click with someone and come together, fitting in every way possible.  Maybe you just need the bad in order to have the good, or at least appreciate the good.  If you never had anyone you just simply didn’t like and didn’t want around; would you really appreciate the people that you do get along with and that you like or even love?
