May the wings of the butterfly
kiss the sun,
then find your shoulder to light on.
To bring you luck,
happiness and riches.
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

You live on the surface of the water,
if surprised you swim in circles around and around…
You can see with those strange divided eyes,
above and below! Whirling around and around…
You can dive deep down and stay for a long time,
due to all your bubbles around and around…
You swim in large groups and never do you
bump into each other! Whirling around and around…
This is why you are called a Whirligig,
around and around and around again!

…is the energy that blesses our mind with its “sunny” disposition
and keeps our thoughts positive!
It is the energy that is curious and wants to learn about everything.
Without this energy, life would be boring and feel unchallenged…
Yellow Energy gives us the ability to be open and spontaneous.

"Glasswing Satyrid"
• fused glass illustration printed as an archival pigment print, 100% rag paper
Satyrid, also called satyr butterfly, any of several butterflies of the family Satyridae,
having gray or brown wings marked with "eye-spots."
This group contains nearly half of the known diversity of brush-footed butterflies.
It is estimated that the true number of Satyrinae species may exceed 2,400.
They are generally weak fliers and often shun bright sunlight.
Small flowers, cheerfully standing tall,
always smiling, to us all.
Soft petals, in the sun they shine,
waving to us all, in a friendly line.
Sweet flowers, dressed in vivid color galore,
beaming to us all,
for they will dance together once more.

Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend,
but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success. Oscar Wilde
