The Origins of Butterfly Kisses: A Tale of Eternal Love
Once upon a time, in the dawn of the world, before words were born to express love, there existed a quiet, sacred gesture between mothers and daughters, butterfly kisses. Long before grand speeches or songs could capture the depth of emotion between them, the soft fluttering of eyelashes against a cheek became the language of love, trust, and an unbreakable bond that would transcend life itself. The legend of butterfly kisses begins with a divine gift, bestowed by nature itself. In an ancient meadow, far beyond the horizon, lived a mother and her daughter, bonded by a love so pure that the stars seemed to brighten when they were together. One summer evening, as the two sat under the canopy of a starlit sky, a gentle breeze stirred the flowers, and the first butterfly was born. The butterfly’s wings, delicate and fragile, danced in the air like a living dream, and as it landed softly on the daughter’s cheek, the mother noticed how her child giggled and glowed, the tickle of the wings filling her heart with joy. The mother, moved by this small but wondrous moment, leaned in close and fluttered her eyelashes against her daughter’s face, mimicking the butterfly’s tender touch. The daughter’s laughter rippled through the air, and in that fleeting instant, they shared something more than words, a feeling of infinite connection. The mother, with tears in her eyes, whispered, “This is how I will always touch you, even when you cannot see me. I will always be with you, my love.” From that moment, butterfly kisses became their promise—an expression of love that would bind them forever, beyond the limits of time. They discovered that unlike the fleeting touch of hands or the sound of voices that fade, butterfly kisses carried with them something eternal. Each gentle brush of eyelashes against the skin was like a whisper of the soul, a reminder that love is not bound by physical distance, by age, or even by death. Over the centuries, mothers passed this tender gesture to their daughters. It became a ritual of love, often shared in the quiet moments before bedtime or at times of deep need, when the world felt too heavy, and the heart longed for the reassurance of love. Butterfly kisses became more than just a simple touch—they became a symbol of connection, a silent vow that no matter what life brought, no matter where time carried them, they would always have each other. In life, butterfly kisses are shared in moments of joy and sorrow. A mother, cradling her newborn for the first time, gives the gift of butterfly kisses to her daughter, as if passing down the light of the stars themselves. In moments of celebration, it is the flutter of love that binds them together. And in times of pain or loss, when words cannot ease the ache, it is the softest of kisses that reminds them: Love never dies. And even when a mother’s time in this world has passed, the memory of butterfly kisses lives on. For each daughter carries with her the touch of her mother’s love, stored within her very being. In moments of stillness, when she closes her eyes, she can feel the gentle flutter on her cheek, as if the very wings of her mother’s soul are brushing against her, whispering that she is never truly alone. As generations pass, the love between mothers and daughters deepens through this sacred tradition. Butterfly kisses connect them to the lineage of women who came before and to the future daughters who will carry the legacy forward. It is a love that is born with the first flutter of life and continues long after the last breath has been taken. It is a reminder that the bond between mother and daughter is as eternal as the stars themselves. Butterfly kisses are, in their essence, the promise that love is immortal. They are the bridge between this world and the next, the way that mothers and daughters can continue to speak in the language of the heart, even when time separates them. For though hands may fade and voices grow distant, love remains. Love flutters softly, like the wings of a butterfly, gently brushing against the soul, reminding us that we are forever held, forever cherished. And so, in every corner of the world, whether whispered across oceans or shared in the quiet of a home, butterfly kisses continue to flutter from one generation to the next—a gesture of infinite love, a reminder that no matter where life or death takes us, the bond between mother and daughter is unbreakable, eternal, and ever-present. For love, like butterfly kisses, transcends all.

From ‘Mustn’t Grumble’ to ‘Not Bad’: Tracing the Evolution of British Language
On 01/11/23, I was at the O2 to hear Dr Jordan Peterson speak, and he had guests on stage with him, one of whom was Douglas Murray who spoke about the change of one particular phrase in the UK culture and how it had disappeared the phrase is ‘mustn’t grumble’ My love of language, curiosity, intention and influence created this post. In the joy of language, subtle changes occur that we do not always recognise are happening until it has occurred. Words and phrases that once held cultural significance fade away, only to be replaced by newer expressions. One such phrase that held its place in the British dialect for many years that was generally said after the common question ‘how are you?’ is ‘mustn’t grumble.’
