Alan Moore has sent me many stories and articles about what butterflies have meant to people, and of their rather magical appearance in times of stress, of sadness, of mourning. So it is not surprising that the butterfly has come to symbolize all of Moore s beliefs. Thus it is the reason why he founded the Butterfly Gardeners Association, and has dedicated his life to the organization and to the things it stands for. The butterfly initiative is a wondrous and rare adventure. It is practical, uplifting and inspiring.
Butterfly gardening can be a catalyst to a wide range of positive activities.
Butterflies are inspiring. They can be quite magical, helping us to connect with nature, as well as with our spiritual selves. Yet butterflies are disappearing everywhere right before our very eyes. When uncaring human activities get out of hand, it is always the butterflies that take the first and most profound blow. Studies have shown that when rainforests are destroyed, or local temperatures rise, or chemicals and pesticidies contaminate our environment, or natural habitats are lost, it is almost always the butterfly that suffers most.
