Spirit Flight

Butterflies and hummingbirds rainbow-hued, delicate and winged they are like miniscule earthly angels they are jeweled symbols manifestations spanning culture and time and they cause me to wonder how, in many religions the "spirit" or "soul" (our very essence) seeks flight- a release from this body's restraints freedom from the world's present grounding... To float upwards and then soar to ascend to other realms- whether in dreams or upon death or simply, to get goosebumps, to have a sense of awe- deja vu it's like a tinkling of bells, heavenly harps it's our connections to the Mystery - to the beautiful unknown.
