God's Butterfly Released

Some of my friends & acquaintances have seen/read this free form verse in the past. At a special “Pillow Talk” workshop I attended in 2009 or 2010, I was finally able write down the awareness I possessed within my being throughout my life. When I first felt this warmth, I was a toddler, and I thought it was from an Indian spirit guide I called Whispering Owl. I didn't come to know about God until age 6. I was born and grew up in Sheridan, WY; still the Old (or Wild) West in the 1950's. Only in 2006, after receiving a written message from an earthbound angel (in human form), did I realize this had ALWAYS been the Holy Spirit caressing & guiding me.

In my infancy came a warmth into my HEART,
And a quiet whisper that spoke with GENTLENESS --
“You are a Special & Unique Child;
one the world will find hard to ACCEPT.
You will face all kinds of cruelty & inhumanity along life's JOURNEY.
I will teach you skills to use for coping in such a world of greed & egotism.
Keep Me close all times, & I will show you such wonders
& beauties few will ever EXPERIENCE.
I will teach you to feel Love, Compassion & Understanding
that most will never know.
With this will also come great sadness, grief & heartache toward fellow man.
Through unfailing Hope, Trust & Belief in Me, you will find true RELEASE &
FREEDOM to be the person I destined you to be in the BEGINNING.”
