I modified this from a drawing in a book. It originally had only stars, but I wanted to include the symbology of the butterfly too - and all it represents for me.
This picture is really close to my heart. I have alot of trouble allowing myself to cry - which is usually pretty unhealthy - instead I hold everything inside. So this picture of the tears flowing is like healing for me. Because when I do eventually cry, it is an enormous thing, and often profoundly changes me. The tears are releasing and healing.
I am in love with the stars, and been known to spend hours staring at them, have been described as 'a shining star' and have a special ring inscribed with the Latin words 'ad astra' which means 'to the stars'. 'The Star' is also my personal tarot card. Stars represent hope, expansion, reaching - so many things to me.
The butterfly is one of my animal totems, and never fails to show up when I'm upset. She represents freedom, change, transformation and new beginnings.
My whole life is a journey of endings and new beginnings.
As is everyone's.

So, as you can see, this means alot to me.
