So today I had 2 go out 2 my Aunt's in Indiana, it's way out in the country. She lives on acres of land free of all outside noise, theres a beautiful stream that runs in the front of the house. I've always loved walking down the path by the stream as a little girl and everytime I'm there I always take a long walk. I had 2 laugh becuz all that was going thru my mind was "Do U like 'environmental' records? Crickets chirping, water rushing. Supposed 2 make U horny but it's makin' me wanna go 2 the bafroom..."

The whole time I was on my walk down there I kept seeing all these gorgeous purple flowers. It's very odd becuz I've NEVER seen them before. They've always been red, yellow, blue or orange flowers. Not another color in sight, purple EVERYWHERE. I walk thru part of the stream 2 get 2 the other side 4 a nice place 2 sit and enjoy the wonderful noise of the water. I had 2 make my way around this big tree and when I did what do I see on the other side? A large blanket of wild violets. Dead serious. I started 2 tear up and cry. After only a moment of crying the most amazingly beautiful Monarch Butterfly starts fluttering around the violets before it lands on my knee. SHOCKED BEYOND WORDS. I was absolutely frozen and staring at this thing on my knee. It stayed there 4 about 2 minutes then flew around me before doing a total dissappearing act.

I tried 2 make sense of what just happened so I just sat and smiled 4 about 10 minutes. I went from being so horribly sad and crying 2 having a butterfly of all things land on me the moment I was crying. Beyond surreal. After that I took another look at all of the beautiful purple flowers of all kinds around me. I felt the most wonderful kind of calm rush over me. It's always been very peaceful there but I've NEVER had this kind of feeling before. Just felt like everything was ok, I felt incredibly loved like U do when U get a huge tight hug from some1. I swear 2 God ya'll it was the most amazing feeling ever and hand 2 God true.

I started walking back up the path and The Holy River started playing in my mind. This time tho it didn't make me cry or sad. Just felt like it was ok, HE IS OK. Before I left I was loading some things in my car and waiting 4 my parents 2 say goodbye 2 my Aunt and others. While I was waiting something like this but much more purple hardly any blue and different wings comes and lands on my car:



I stood there in absolute shock again. I swear on my soul 2 God this happened.

Thank you for that God and AC1, I miss him so much. I hope we will all be together one day. I hope he and my daughter have met and are together watching us all.

I totally love how we did this -- and I know I will miss figuring out what this little git will be up to next. we totally have to do this again sometime.

A glimpse into the beauty one encounters when walking on that special path... And God's loving embrace gently letting you know that our man has made it home safely...

And on that special day too, wow. Thank U so much for sharing this ACharmed1.

That's beautiful. This year after seeing so many Monarchs after their long absence, they make me smile because they represent hope to me. The other day I noticed my jacaranda tre is still blooming, it shouldn't be. The flowers are purple.

I have all different color hydrangeas, this year they are all purple, don't know why other than the obvious, P.

Okay, what the hell did I miss and why the hell didn't anyone Orgnote me?

Sorry to anyone who missed it! This was born out of chitchat in the photo thread and we just re-routed to the general discussion as not wanting to get in trouble since not part of that thread topic...seems it was wrong to put it there either so it showed up in the main Prince thread today. Damned if U do, damned if U don't

Hopefully you guys can catch the next one!

I think I can hook U up, but it might cost U the 411 on those animated emoticons u use...

LOL!

But in all honesty, it's no real hookup. Just Google (whatever you have in mind + emoticon) and look under the images tab and just click around. If you don't find exactly what you want at first, once you click something look at what appears marked (related) and just keep clicking around from there 'til you find what you want.

Now...bring me some love!

Thank U 4 all the wonderful comments 2 those who commented on my story. I'm glad I have that 4 always no matter what.

As 2 all those ppl still org noting me wanting a copy of 3 Chains O' Gold that train has left the station, please look at things my way: I offered the video 2 friends of mine on here and thought common sense would take over 4 those seeing me say "I have it if U want it" that was directed at the ppl I KNOW. That wasn't the case. I got my inbox bombed with request after request most of whom R ppl I've never even been on the same thread as let alone talked 2. Then I get some of the ruddest mofos roll up in my inbox just TELLING me 2 email them a copy. WTF? Umm NO.

I'm sorry 4 those who don't have a copy but dayum I can't give it 2 the whole org plus shit is being cracked down on. 4 those in the know we like 2 lay low if U get my point. I'll leave ya'll with this hint 2 find a copy 2 watch tho: Sapo.
