"Never worry about having Butterflies...  

Just be certain they fly in formation". 

Turning the next Page and reading the score 

composed by talented gifted musicians... 

I rest my Case.... Failure is Success turned  

inside out ... as we dance toward the Light...

I know that You dance with them, speak with them, form with them the language only hearts can hear...

"I rest my Case.... Failure is Success turned
inside out ... as we dance toward the Light... "

this is a lesson of life, failure can be the best thing that happens to us. Thank You my dear Pat for sharing your wisdom and beauty among the beauty of your butterflies friends ❤️

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Song 🎶 of Light... you must flutter with the Rays of Sunlight among the Prairie flowers... yes, failure can be a learning curve where Rainbows 🌈 bring opportunities. May your days be a Prism of
colorful visions. gently, Pat

[lightsong]

I must collect all your reviews and comments into a book, a book of "gentle graces"~ your pen flows with a spell of graceful bliss✨✨✨dearest Pat💕

[Patricia Wedel]

Your kindness will help me ever so much...
Butterflies must be Angels in disguise... tenderly, Pat

There's a certain amount of verve & spunk that can be gleaned from the sensation of "having butterflies" . . . if you're not a little "on edge" with whatever is in front of one, maybe it's time to push a little beyond one's comfort zone!?!?! As for flying in formation . . . I beg to disagree. I've been regimented far too long & I look enviously on at those whose butterflies & ducks & magpies are in a tittering dither (((HUGS))) I love your first 2 lines, even tho I disagree about flying in formation! Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Margie... it is Friday already... I appreciate your review. My first 2 lines were first spoken by a young woman who was Press Secretary to George Bush, Jr. She grew up in Wyoming on a Cattle Farm
with many areas to roam. I believe it broadened her horizons and she eventually became a brilliant Correspondent. Her name is Dana Perino. I admire her so much. Her stat

[Patricia Wedel]

Hi Margie.. I was cut off.. above. Dana's statement about Butterflies is really a symbolism. I am fascinated by the use of words; and you, Margie, are quite clever in so many of your essays on life. I wrote this little poem... in honor of a poet friend who loves butterflies. She and I had a misunderstanding that migrated out of control,.. when it was "private" and went viral. Enough said.
Only prayer and meditation can lay this to rest.
These things can be a blessing somehow... if you make it positive. I always admire your talent, and you are gifted. truly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree dear Pat.
" Failure is Success turned
inside out ... as we dance toward the Light..."
I did like the above lines. Failure allow us to know. We are moving in the right or wrong direction. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

dear John... lovely to read your words of wisdom. This is a long Winter. Hope you are safe and warm. tenderly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

I am fine. I believe Winter is braking. Hello from Michigan my dear friend.

[Patricia Wedel]

Hi John... we just had Snow and Ice... enough that you could slip and fall. Roger my hubby fell down in our yard and his shoulder hurts, and probably affects his arthritis... so be careful. We feed the Birds.
The Cardinals are Gorgeous. Spring is sleeping in our 💕 hearts. Amen... Pat

[Pryde Foltz]

Lovely ... failure can be thought of as a new beginning just like out beloved butterflies:)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Pryde... I seem to be learning so much in my "silver years"... there are times when I learn by error,
and then I try to improve... it is on-going. Thank you for your thought of failure being a new beginning. Be brave and safe. tenderly, Pat

[Pryde Foltz]

I find it helps me to remember we are connected to something eternal that cannot be destroyed and things are always working out for us:)

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Pryde... that is a beautiful thought... Also,
Life is mysterious... so many things we do not understand.. the “unrest” between People can be like blending 🌴 Mangoes and Pineapples 🍍 for a tropical 🍹 drink with Figs and Dates on the side... to set someone free on a Tropical Isle with other Sojourners. gently, Pat

[Robert Trakofler]

my butterflies are bouncing bounding booming blissfully blowing beckoning and bashful blustery and bowing brightly they brandish but i never seem to catch them with my net:/

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Robert... A lot of “B” words to describe your Butterflies. I believe we will be more healthy when Spring arrives and we can dance through fields of Butterflies. So many things to ponder and wonder. “Bashful blustery and bowing brightly”. Hope there will be lots of buzzing Bees 🐝 and honey for Biscuits. Lovely to read your words.

[Sami Khalil]

Good quotation from Dana Perino and the ending lines are so wise. You can take lemon and make lemonade out of it Pat. You have a sharp mind and you grace our pages as a butterfly.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Sami... you are the “Hope” in Pandora’s Box... I love that you referred to me as a Butterfly... I will dwell on that... perhaps to sip Nectar and share the healing powers. It seems that there is more to Life than we can ever imagine. To be humble is to realize that there is always a better way to handle situations... and unfortunately I failed; however, I do trust my instincts and will endeavor to use better judgement. Thanks for the soothing Balm extended.
gently, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! You are doing just fine. Stay on the mission till the day of transition. You are a blessing to us all. You are welcome.

[Chris Shaw]

We learn by our failures. Now there are butterflies and butterflies. There are those fragile flutter bys who couldn't possibly fly in formation, but give us so much joy and have something so spiritual about them as they hover in our gardens. And then there are the tummy butterflies which tell us we are apprehensive and nervous. I know them both. This little poem has so much to offer. I heard the musical score and it was delightful Pat. Love across the waves.

Chris

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Christine... you are the Peace that surpasses understanding... a musical Score that soothes the Soul. Your review is a blessing for healing of wounds.
May your days be long upon the Earth. gently, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

Lovely flowing words to show us that failure is not a negative thing ,we all fail in our lives, but I love the way you expressed it:" Failure is success turned inside out"....as we dance toward the light" A sort but clever poem making a good point. Thanks for sharing Pat,
Truly Yours, Betty
Stays safe, peace

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Betty... I believe I read the above in a "fortune cookie"... however, it makes sense to me. pick yourself up and dust yourself off and start all over again. Thank you for stopping by... it takes awhile to smile... but your review has given me a boost. gently, Pat

[Betty Hermelee]

That makes me happy pat, peace and harmony, yours, B

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and as emily wrote..."Success is counted sweetest/ by those who ne'er succeed, to comprehend the nectar/ requires sorest need"
and after all "Butterflies are free"---

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Jacob... you have said the Magic words...
that make good things possible.. like the Song 🎶 of
Golden Daffodils... we can be free to be true to everyone... always ready to sing... gratefully yours. Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Butterflies are free... and Prayers are free... to wish the best of Life to everyone... It is difficult to know someone’s heart...even the ones who could have understood better. Even the Ocean sparkles in the Sun of perfect Peace. Amen 🙏

[emmajoy]

Beautiful creatures, fragile but conspicuous, bringing happiness wherever they are.. an example of how to behave, lead without push or shove, warmly welcomed. We need more.. and more. Many thanks, your words example the power of their being. Hugs and best Friday wishes. Keep safe. xx

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... I am trying to “elevate” my mind
by concentrating on knowledge and wisdom.
At least I know my short-comings... and willing to do better. I appreciate your visit and hope you are well and safe. gently, Pat

[emmajoy]

You already have a beautiful mind, Petal, without a shortcoming in view.. so, please stay who and what you are. Please. xx

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Em... we are all God’s children... our hearts weep and snow falls as little wings flutter through it all. There is forgiveness ... white as Snow... Amen 🙏
Petals fall silently from a Rose 🥀

Sending butterfly kisses and smiley hugs.

".....be certain they fly in formation" now there is a challenge if i ever read one! ;) one should have butterflies when going on stage .. without them we probably won't deliver with much feeling or emphasis .. just a drab recitation of a score too simple for the show ... of course i am drawn as the moth to your closing line ... i like the brevity in this one .. and whats not to like about butterflies ... good luck getting them to march to any tune tho :)))))))))))))))))))0

[Patricia Wedel]

dear E.. On “Fox Nation” subscription” I heard Dana Perino (when she was Press Secretary to George Bush, Jr.) say, the above quote about Butterflies. I am trying to elevate my mind in general, and yet be poetic. Butterflies 🦋 remind me of a very talented Poet.. and also I believe they are great pollinators, as well as Bees. Love your last line... “marching to a tune”. 🐝 Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

i'm a fan of Dana .. strong woman! clear voice.

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes Gene... we really enjoyed seeing her biography growing up in Wyoming on a Cattle Farm. She is of course, on “The Five”... and well read and brilliant. We
Loved her as Press Secretary for George Bush, Jr. A real Sweetheart of a Woman.
