A few days ago while cleaning up leave in the garden i spotted something flapping around ,i bent down and sifted in the leaves it was a butterfly
its wings were just skelital now and with its only remaning leg it climbed on my finger ,what strentgh this must have taken ,i found a small cup and put the butterfly in there with some small leaves ,i put it in the greenhouse were it could die in quiet and a little warmth ,the leaves were food for the long journey it would soon make ,today it had died ,i buryed it in the garden and wished it we.ll on that journey ,such a small thing
but it matterd to me ,,,,,,,,ken

That's so beautiful and moving ((KEN))! I think of butterflies...stuck in a cocoon...tight and pain of change...struggling in the tiny space...feeling suffocated...until finally it breaks free and soars in beauty...
