January: let the fairytale begin...

And another January is here. Time flies. Things change.

Yesterday evening when i was drawing Pupa (above) i was thinking about change... the possibilities it brings, the faith it beckons...

I casually added a butterfly flying into the picture, always amazed at what turns up on my paper when i draw : a butterfly is the symbol of transformation and new beginnings, opportunities and good luck, freedom & fun, naturalness and purity... i couldn’t wish for more.

There is a native American legend that says “if you have a secret wish, capture a butterfly and whisper your wish to it. Since butterflies cannot speak your secret will be safe. Release the butterfly and it will carry your wish to the great spirit who alone knows the thoughts of butterflies.By setting the butterfly free you are helping to restore the balance of nature - your wish will be granted.”


So could we say that the butterfly is also a symbol of all wishes come true? 


I want to think so. And i hope you do too.
This January, let the fairytale begin...
