Wild Violets & Candy Wrappers

Part of my reality is finding signs and omens - a helpful, mysterious picture of nature that exists on an elevated level which we should perceive in order to learn.  On Saturday, April 13th (does that date mean anything to you?) I was walking along near a field and I saw masses of blooming wild violets, one of my most special Spring flowers.  Actually, I hunt them by scent -  perfume precedes their appearance.  So fragrant and delicate...and to think some people destroy them as garden weeds!  Bad karma doing that.  A garden is blessed with wild violets.  Only few varieties of butterflies and moths receive nourishment from these tiny flowers.

They were growing in thriving green grass so instead of searching around to pick each stem, I wrapped my hand around a clump, grass & all, and picked them.  My place is down the road a short distance so I held them like that until I got home and put them on my kitchen counter for a few seconds while I filled a tiny purple vase with water and a penny in the bottom, for copper nutrients.

When I separated the violets from grass, a piece of paper was crumpled up among them.  I unwrapped this paper after placing the flowers in the vase.  It was a candy wrapper, blue and yellow.  The Spanish name "Espanto" was in big letters, (which means fear or fright I translated on Google later).  With a magnifying glass as the letters were worn, I deciphered print on the side "Argentina" and under "Espanto" I made out part letters of  "Halloween"!  Here's cell phone pics taken that day.





A candy wrapper of a Halloween candy from Argentina picked up with the only bunch of violets I chose in that field...a powerful sign.

Now what does it mean as an omen?   Could mean many things - up to me to choose the message.
