Caregivers have superpowers! Radical Loving Care illuminates the divine truth that caregiving is not just a job. It is Sacred Work.
The painting that accompanies today's caregiver meditation was done by Liz Wessel, M.S.
Butterfly Rain
The rain that grays
the forest
finds yellow wings
that dart & weave.
Unable to dodge the wet
the butterfly rows beneath
the overhang
of my cabin roof,
fans, waits
for the sun.
When my childhood
hand first closed
on a butterfly
I remember how
his wing dust
sun-brushed my
fingers the way that,
now, the
softening rain
butterflies my
upturned face.
-Erie Chapman
You paint such vivid images with your poem, Erie in wonderful contrasts of color, strength and feeling. I go with you in remembering and then find myself sitting with eyes closed, looking skyward, experiencing a soft butterfly mist…and a flutter of joy, to have this watercolor accompany your art. 😉

Well, between the beautiful art of paint and prose between of the two of you, today’s offering is a splendid marriage! In my mind’s eye I, too, am now wearing butterfly dust.

Butterflies are one of my favorite things because they are so beautiful,graceful and float along with out a care. At least this is my interpretation. I think that it is so awesome to see how detailed GOD was when he created butterflies. They are so small and delicate but yet they are so full of color and detail on their wings. Just look and think about all the detail that GOD put into creating butterflies but yet everone is different. Much like you and me. 🙂
