"I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being!" - Hafiz, The Divan
The magic held in a little chrysalis is captivating -- it's beauty and coming transformation is apparent to us, but not to the caterpillar morphing inside.
Sometimes it's hard to see how beautiful we are. A card can help us feel seen.
A card, written just to you. In old fashioned handwriting.
Someone was thinking of you.
That's the magic of mail. That we can let someone know we love them.
I could have used this card when I was in my 20s.
I hope you can send it to someone who might need some encouragement.
Or keep it for yourself and let the monach and milkweed accompany you through your day.
