from earth and sky

Butterflies seem like heavenly creatures as they drift by.

Their tumbling through my garden makes me remember those who have passed off earth and sea, as William wrote in his beautiful cursive  in this autograph book from 1882.

Sometimes when I see one, I feel a presence; my mother close by

or my dog running in the sky

It makes me happy to be reminded of them.

of my friend flying through the wildflowers like a bird

To know as long as I am here and remember them, they are here too.  Loved.

 

October with its glorious color and changing light is the perfect time for these musings don't you think? 

Wishing you a wild and happy Halloween~
