Artist’s Note:

“Inspired by the quiet power of transformation, Butterfly Kisses captures the tender beauty of a mother and child, accompanied by the presence of a butterfly—a symbol of souls that bridge our world and the next. ‘There is no place so awake and alive as the edge of becoming.’ The butterfly embodies that sacred edge, where stillness meets transformation, and where we learn to trust the journey of becoming.

This piece reflects those tender moments where we hold onto love even as life calls us forward to grow. The butterfly kiss—a soft, fleeting touch—represents the quiet ways that love connects us to those we cherish, even those who may no longer be with us. It’s a reminder that, like the butterfly, our souls are constantly evolving, lifted by gentle love and carried by hope. I hope this artwork brings you a sense of peace and connection, reminding you that transformation is a sacred, patient process filled with grace.”

Butterfly Kisses

There are moments, still as night,
Where change begins, beyond our sight.
Awake and alive on the edge of flight,
The soul transforms, finds new light.

A butterfly, a whispered grace,
A bridge to love, a sacred place.
With wings that brush, a soft caress,
Connecting us to what we bless.

The journey slow, the growth unseen,
Held gently in love’s in-between.
No need to rush, no need to strain,
In quiet faith, we bloom again.

A butterfly’s kiss, a tender touch,
A love that lingers, means so much.
It carries us through each darkened day,
Guiding our path, lighting the way.

— Emily Shay

Let Butterfly Kisses remind you of the gentle transformations happening within, and the enduring love that connects us to those who have come before. As Sue Monk Kidd says, “There is no place so awake and alive as the edge of becoming.” May we find courage and grace on our own edges, trusting that love and transformation carry us forward.
