I was just out walking my dogs. We stopped at a coffee shop and I drank some chamomile tea, and then we started walking home on South Lamar, a busy street in Austin, TX. It’s a bright sunny day today and I was in good spirits as we walked along. Amber, my English Beagle, jumped up to try to catch a butterfly that had been following us. The butterfly evaded her, and without even thinking about it, I transferred both leashes to my right hand, and I calmly reached out with my left hand and the butterfly alighted on my palm and I walked with it for several blocks, marveling at how well it clung to my palm even though the wind blew its orange and black wings hither-thither. It did not leave me until I started having a conversation with a neighbor in passing. I was curious to see what it might mean which is why I googled it. Apparently, nobody knows, probably because the nature of the butterfly is transformation itself. My instinct tells me that change is in the air.

Twenty-four years ago, while sitting outside with my parents, a butterfly circled my dad several times. Mom shooed it away as she believed that butterflies meant “a new life” which could be perceived as “death” of the one you have now. The butterfly was insistent and circled until it landed on my dad’s shoulder, much to my mother’s horror. Six days later, my father died unexpectedly from a massive heart attack. Today, a small white butterfly landed on my sneaker and was quite content to just sit there. I told my husband that if I die this week, not to be surprised! However, after reading other posts of butterflies landing on people, I am trying to believe that my father’s death after the butterfly experience was just a coincidence…at least I hope so!

Butterflies land on me everyday and i have the worst luck in the world and I’m subdued but not happy. I was beaten by my father and even saw him shot when I was five. I have a drunk step father and my mother has cancer and I had to give up my scholarship in basketball to take care of them both, yet butterflies land on me everyday. And this symbolizies that im happy? I think not.

I have nearly finished my degree and i am finding it hard to obtain work in my chosen field so i decided to get some assistance from the Government (social security). I did not want to go and i was feeling demoralised and ashamed that i am unable to obtain work.

As i walked the mile of shame, a beautiful yellow butterfly with black/brown patterns landed on my heart. (I was wearing a black knitted cardigan, dark brown T shirt and navy jeans). I smiled. I didnt feel so ashamed anymore.

I really do hope that it meams that my life is going to improve. I have been feeling so depressed lately, no money and a non existent love life.

I’ve just had a Red Admiral butterfly land on my finger today while out pegging washing in the garden. It landed on my middle finger, it was amazing to see, so yes seems they do land on people.

Yesterday, I was walking in the field with my boyfriend and a butterfly landed on my shoulder, I decided to see whether it would land on my hand if I held it open for it. It came back again and again, until I walked away! I have pictures to prove.
