Butterflies are a spiritual symbol of change, joy, and the colors of life. Butterflies undergo a miraculous metamorphosis and gradually transform until a new creature emerges as a beautiful butterfly symbolizing a rebirth.
Their fluttering dance is a reminder not to take life too seriously. Visitors to Gardens With Wings have shared their butterfly experiences and poems to bring strength, hope, consolation, healing, and inspiration to others. Read their stories below.
