His presence

This was the second day in a row where butterflies - beautiful, white and black butterflies - surrounded me as I walked along the creek near our home.
I felt such a presence of our Divine Creator, and saw him so clearly...
in the sound of the singing birds and rushing water.
in the smell of fresh new blooms springing to life.
in the blue of the sky, so vibrant.
in the way the breeze danced with tree branches. 
in the warmth of the sun on my face.


I gave thanks for these little things, and in my heart knew them to actually be the big things.
