🔍 Today was one of those days where I dove deeper into the world of Stacker News, exploring how wallets work and all that jazz. If you have any tips or tricks, please send them my way—I’m still figuring it all out!
After my tech adventures, I turned to drawing. Usually, I have a lineup of ideas ready to go, but none of them quite fit my mood today. Then I remembered the butterflies from my upcoming blog entry—can you guess what I’m writing and painting about? 👀
🦋Even though I’ve painted butterflies before here’s one on Instagram, I felt like revisiting them.
This one I posted on Nostr, a while ago
Lately, I’ve been seeing butterflies everywhere on my walks with my dog, and they just felt right for today’s art session. So here’s to butterflies and their beautiful symbolism!
In Celtic mythology, there’s an old Irish saying:
“Butterflies are souls of the dead waiting to pass through Purgatory.” From mindbodygreen.com
It’s no wonder butterflies are often seen as symbols of rebirth. Even Aristotle named the butterfly:
“Psyche,” the Greek word for “soul.” From learnreligions.com
☀️With the weather warming up, days growing longer, and the air full of new scents (and butterfly sightings!🦋), I invite you to really enjoy this season. After drawing today’s butterfly, I realized how freeing it is to just let go and create—no pressure, just fun. Sometimes, taking even a few mindful minutes to do something you love can work wonders—maybe even a little magic.
Hope to catch you on the next one, frens. Godspeed! ✨
Today's butterfly. I drew it on Procreate.
