Butterfly Means Soul

Why are we moved by the luminous beings around us? Can we say that they welcome us into our true nature, which is the nature of the soul? We remember it in the flicker of butterfly wings, in the roar of wild water and the rustle of falling autumn leaves. Reality is us: Being that experiences itself.
