When I read this week's challenge, Butterflies came to mind. Kathleen has always been a positive supporting gallery commenter and generous in sharing images. What she is going through reminds me of a butterfly. After holing up in a cocoon and struggling to emerge, the butterfly must wait for its wings to dry before it can get on with being a butterfly. I hope Kathleen rests up while in her "cocoon" so when she is ready to blossom into a butterfly her wings will dry and she will be off spreading her beauty as she gets on with the business of being a butterfly. Instead of sporting jeweled wings may she have healthy lung tissue that will support her in the next leg of her journey.

goodness, Fran, your thoughts and imagery are so very powerful and I pray exactly that for Kathleen! What you said brought me to tears and I stand in agreement with you. This is lovely beyond words.

Lovely to see Garden Collage in the gallery today, Fran. And I enjoyed reading your thoughts behind the creation of the card. The torn edges on the image is something I'm going to try, and I love the added little butterflies on the sentiment.
