Flutter flutter
Simple and delicate. Even the way they flutter as opposed to fly and glide is, in a way, refreshing. Some how it seems more fun and light hearted rather than, down to business. As dumb as this may sound, much like dragonflies, I think butterflies are fairies that nature allows us to see. Living in the city, it isn't always easy to run across such beautiful things as butterflies, so when they do grace us with their presence, I find it only fitting to stop and watch them for a moment. I love so much about their wings like the colors, patterns, and shapes.
May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
~Irish Blessing
What a wonderful blessing! I love it. Let us not forget that the butterfly wasn't always a butterfly. It started out as a caterpillar, fat and worm-like, spending most of it's time eating, before wrapping itself up in a cocoon and sleeping for a very long time. And once the time comes, it emerges from the cocoon beautiful and lovely with wings that carry it wherever it wants to go. Life lessons as taught by nature.
