you posted this a little after your chakric series, and its journey must have still been deeply in your hands, as this feels like a natural continuation. I'd never heard that butterflies are considered passed souls come back to us: It's a beautiful thought. And given that you write it here, it makes the image all the more powerful. You have two main ones in the center of your Dream Catcher circle, and they not only move within a huge vortex originating from the bottom center (the earth, the fundament, the origin of life), but they seem to create that vortex with their energies. Like, when they appear, they morph the whole world around them, as they should. You could call that the 'essence' of metamorphosis, the quality you celebrate here. The swooping descent into a center, here, is powerful stuff. And your hues morph from the beautiful reds & oranges & ochres, above, to the deep earthen (even deep sea) greens and blues below, somehow uniting upper with lower. (Chakric!) And at the bottom, you have 2 more butterflies, who seem to be holding the entire vision up, like the spirits from the other world, waiting to rise---though I like the feeling that they don't even have to rise, as their role is to keep that center ever alive & holy, the guardians of the fundament. Like, if we go down there, we'll see them guarding the sacred realm 24 hours a day. The butterflies on top fly freely, and the feathers & beads on the catcher circle are perfect adornments, celebrations. And in the center? That big swirl of hues descends, with your signature brushstrokes (digital): rapturous as always. The universe resonates with one of its species, who, by their very presence, morphs the whole universe into a pulsing highway from inner to outer. Beautifully done as always. And your brushwork & energies come straight from the center of the heart.
