Two mornings in a row, I stepped outside—and a yellow swallowtail met me in the air.

Not a coincidence. A visitation.

There’s something unmistakable about her timing. The way she moved like memory and medicine, winged in gold and shadow. The way she didn’t flinch from the light. As if to remind me:

✨ You are allowed to be seen now.
✨ Your emergence does not require apology.
✨ Even the hardest griefs can teach us how to fly.

So I listened. And then I wrote.

A Soul Scroll for the Swallowtail of the Second Morning

I stepped outside
and the sky remembered me.

It sent a yellow-winged whisper,
bold as sunlight, soft as breath,
twice in two days—
as if to say:
Yes. You are changing. And yes—this time, it’s safe.

I do not flee this life.
I emerge from it.

Not by shedding the past like it was shame,
but by carrying it beautifully into the air,
woven in black and gold—
proof that even the broken cocoons were part of the prayer.

I wear no disguise.
I’ve earned my wings.
And I will fly like grief taught me how to rise.

🕯️ On the altar of Becoming, I lit a candle.
I sketched a sigil in thread.
I whispered thank you to the sky.

This is the season of threshold wings, of ancestral winds, and of remembering who I was before the silence.

The swallowtail knows.

May this be a sign for you, too, if you’ve been waiting for one.

🦋 An Invitation to You
Have you been visited too?
By wings… by wind… by a whisper in the quiet?

I’d love to hear what signs have circled you lately—what’s been arriving softly but insistently at the edge of your threshold.

Leave a comment, share your story, or simply whisper it to the land. This is a space where synchronicity is sacred. Where emergence is honored. Where your becoming is not too much.

✨ Let this be a gentle beginning.
✨ Let this be a place you return to.
✨ Let this be a winged remembrance that you, too, are rising.

Thank you for walking with me here.
Until next time—
may the signs find you,
and may you know yourself by their light.

🕯️ With devotion and wild grace,
