Feeling this Lightness of being I know A new day has dawned In my soul ~ Patricia Sanders The Butterfly's Song came about as time brought me to a transformation in my life that I have been going through for the past two years. I lived a life of struggle and what appeared to be one disappointment after another. I finally surrendered after my third divorce to a man I married twice. Having to revisit heartache once again I asked God to show me what to do as I realized that up to this point I had not found any sense of contentment within. I did much soul searching, meditated and prayed my way through this. One day I awoke with a new sense of awe and enchantment that has followed me ever since. I have a new peace inside of me that I have never known before. Life is a gift, love is a gift and I have a new appreciation for life that sustains me. The Butterfly's Song was formerly titled Love's Journey.
I began writing poetry at the age of 12. I did not know it would aid me in discovering a new intimacy with my own spirit, teaching me about love and revealing to me who I am on the path of knowing thyself.
Meditation further aided me in this process which took me to the depths of my own shadow and back again into my light with a newfound sense of peace and a wisdom I would have not had otherwise.
I believe that all that has been my life, all the heartache, the love I have known has been the path I was meant to go down to learn about myself. You cannot truly know another unless you know yourself.
