"Butterfly Spirit"
This is a true story of pain and anguish, renewed to Hope and Life. It begins as a story of One, but is applicable to Oh, So Many. It is a story needing to be Told, beginning in darkness and ending in the Light.
Waking from a living sleep with a flood of forgotten painful memories of decades passed, a history of suppressed violence and fear bubbles; rising to the surface of her tortured mind. She again cries for help and is now Finally Heard. Others Join with her in Her Fight for Life and breaking away from the chains of her dark past.
It is like a reoccurring bad dream. At first frightened and denying, she is now willing to Psychologically and Spiritually Face her Attackers of long ago. As they slowly emerge from the recesses of her repressed mind, She now meets Each One with Intent and Fervor. A little more is Revealed with each New Day, as if it was only yesterday.
She mentally faces her “Demons of Old” and their psychological hold on her. She is a True Survivor, Relentless in her Desire to be Free from her past, which has held her so long in "Mental Chains". There are No Free Days, as each day has a Specific Challenge she must Meet and Address. It is a tiring, painful Cleansing; a Purging of her Wounded Spirit and Body.
Methodically Healing, She is Now Equipped and Ready to Face Each Day, moving further Forward in her Sacred and Renewed Life.
She Emerges from Her Protective but no Longer Necessary Cocoon, Carefully Drying her Wings in the Light, Eager to Fly.
She is a Butterfly Spirit.
Because She is the First I have addressed here as the "Butterfly Spirit", I will honor her on this site with the Given Name, "Alpha Butterfly Spirit"....
Alpha Butterfly Spirit Asked me to Post this Comment here for Her:
Just as a caterpillar changes into a butterfly, so does a person as they struggle
through life. We face the challenges and gain some element of peace from our faith in God so that eventually our healing comes from within. "One who knows"
