Welcome to my Refuge

article image placeholderUploaded by @candylives
You. Hello, everyone, and good morning. Welcome to this swell. So today I wanted to share with you something interesting that happened to me today. While I was attending to my chores and I was drying the laundry, I saw something huge and black fluttering in the corner of my eye. I got scared, but when I looked at it closely, it was this huge black butterfly. This wasn't the first time that this fellow had jumped out at me when I was moving around the house

Hi, Candy. It's funny, the story about butterfly. Listened to the story two times to make sure that I understood. And, you know, I cannot really tell because I'm not a very specialist to kind of read the signs or interpreting signs of something like that. That can be spiritual, but that can also be just simple. Butterfly flying and finding a way through your home. But the good thing is that you didn't kill it. You talked to it

Hi candy. The art of expressing the deepest form of feelings through simple examples is something really mesmerizing, and I can only find that art in you. The way you take up certain situation and through that you convey wide range, especially the myriad range of emotions and the kind of impact that you create through your words is really, really awesome. Again, once more. You touched all our hearts today with your wonderful lines and wonderful depth of meaning that you conveyed. Really loved your swell thoroughly

And it had these broken, damaged wings, as you can see in the picture. And I just don't know. I just couldn't help feeling a deep connection towards it and, like, how it flew over and sat over my heart, and it just looked, literally was looking into my face with these two black eyes, and I was just, like, felt some deep connection. And it's also interesting because my mother said a very similar thing

Hello, Gauri. And thank you for your great words and your encouraging words in my artistic expression. The way I write, I really felt really encouraged, and I just really was. You know, usually I'm moved by a feeling, and that's the one that came out in this writing, like, what I was experiencing in real life and also the thoughts I was having in my mind

Hi, Candy. I really love the poem. Thank you for inviting me to your swell. Well, I believe that if you want candy, nothing can ever stop you from flying. I know that you must not be feeling good today. But there is always the next day. There is always a fresh morning. So you welcomed the butterfly. You showed your kindness. Your kindness will be valued and someday you will fly. I wish you positivity and happiness in your life. Take care

But because you're sensitive and you feel things deeply, I think you have this natural tendency of healing. Healing and nurturing comes naturally to you. And I think that butterfly sensed it from afar and it came to you, to your house, to seek refuge. And how beautiful is that? I think it can be a curse to feel things too beautifully. But I think the magic part of it, to be able to feel things deeply, I think it's magical

But I will fly. I will get there. And I'm in a process of healing. But I'll get there one day. So thank you. Thank you for spreading the kindness for love once again. And I hope you have a wonderful evening

All creation is a reflection of you in some ways, and we're all connected, and we feel these connections through one another. So I think I definitely was in one of those moods where I just. One of those modes, one of those days, one of those moods. But over all, I just wanted to say thanks for telling me that it's okay to feel things deeply. That matters a lot to me, and I think that meant a lot to me hearing that coming from you

You. Hi, Candy. This is so heart wrenching. You know, I think you were able to feel its pain and empathize with it. That is why you felt all that sadness. And you also felt that your wings had been damaged. So, you know, this was the most human thing to do. And if you can empathize with another's pain, I think that's the most sensitive a person can be and most human that a person can be

It's certainly a heartwarming experience and the way you have narrated it and the way you have captured the descends, it's truly remarkable. So thank you for that and thank you for sharing it with us once again. You have a terrific weekend. Take care. Bye

I think, and I was very comforted in hearing your words because it made me feel normalized, my feeling, I think in the sense that it is okay to empathize with creation. It is okay even if the pain that this but fly felt to empathize with it. And that's what it felt like, it normalized it for me. So thank you for your words of comfort and also for pointing this out that truly, truly that I think empathy is what makes us human

Hello, Adarsh. And thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my swells and also to respond to my invites. I think that's very nice of you. I kind of put a lot out there, so thank you for taking the time. And what you were saying. When somebody reflects a part of you and then you recognize it, they show you a mirror, and then you're like. And they say, this is you
