on my window i saw a yellow butterfly
i spoke to her:
outside is cold
i will let you go inside where it is warm
but promise me not to go near the light too much
dont want you to burn your wings
like Icarus son of Daedalus did


the butterfly replied:
Icarus burnt himself because his ego was soaring
i will go near the light as much as i want
no harm will be done
for i am no butterfly
i am already the Light Itself

when the Light is approached with sincere longing
the meltdown of the illusion happens
and the One shines in all Its glory

having said this,the butterfly went inside and headed directly to the Light
she disappeared without a trace
did she ever existed in the first place?


the only way is for you to find out for yourself
armed with sincere longing,i took the jump
Light is now writing ..
unborn, eternal, changeless ....

Cool how the butterfly's statement was both true and not true at once.
