This is a story about a Butterfly She escaped the Boilermaker Through transformation. To transform required a period of incubation, a need to sleep to dream and the freedom of quiet self-contemplation - of course, such a transformation required immense courage and determination to believe she could fly just as high, yet for longer duration, than any natural butterfly ever could - and this she did, when she finally unfurled her spectacular iridescent cerulean wings spreading them out wide over every creature and every household she touched to one day aLIGHT on ALL of her dreams.
The Dilettante Diaries: "The Incubation and Metamorphosis of Ulysses"
Where do you go in your dreams sweet Princess Ulysses? Do you fly free in your dreams to that other Kingdom? Where do you go in your mind sweet Princess Ulysses? Do you see loose pearls in a jar when your heart is crying for all that over time has gone missing? Where do you go in your heart sweet Princess Ulysses? Do you remember the courage implanted through regal blood therein? The strength of a Queen with all of her might and Love to give? Where do you sing in your fear sweet Princess Ulysses? A mother’s voice is never far, it's strength resides in your lungs, in the air that you breathe. Where do you summon the power to Love sweet Princess Ulysses? Do you not remember the Mirror in your Windows? True twin flame souls pure LOVE
that
is winning ...

But life is the great teacher.” James Joyce, Ulysses “It is as painful perhaps to be awakened from a vision as to be born.” James Joyce, Ulysses “Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.” James Joyce, Ulysses “A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.” James Joyce, Ulysses
