Description
Go with the flow
now simply a metaphor for light mindedness, the butterfly is an ancient symbol of immortality, its life cycle providing a perfect analogy: life (the crawling caterpillar), death (the dark chrysalis) and rebirth (the soul fluttering free).
Hence the Greek Myth of Psyche (literally "soul"). Depicted in art with butterfly wings, she was a mortal freed from death when Zeus was touched by her love for Eros - and his love for her. Butterflies as emblem of souls are found as far apart as Zaire, central Asia, Mexico and New Zealand. they appear with this meaning on Christian Tombs, and Christ is sometimes depicted holding the butterfly of Resurrection.
Butterflies represented the souls of Aztec warriors and were sacred to several Mexican deities, their flickering wings also symbolize solar fire, an idea that recurs in Celtic tradition.

I submitted this piece in the Art Theme Contest along with rainbow by ~samanthaamy and Urban Rainbow by ~Namora5. They go great together I feel, and the message is sweet. I love seeing these colorful butterflies on such a gray background. You did a wonderful job here.
