In many cemeteries—and outside of them too—things happen that seem small, but they aren’t:
A butterfly that lands nearby
A bird that doesn’t fly away
A sudden breeze
A familiar scent
A deep sense of peace
For many spiritual traditions, these are channels through which souls remind us that they are still near. Nature becomes a bridge between two worlds.
It’s no coincidence when something like this happens just as you think of that person.
