The Butterfly Dance

On more than one occasion I have been sitting on the interstate for whatever reason, and two butterflies will come dancing by in my view. They have no care in the world. They are flying and playing together happily. They are amazing little creatures to watch. Beautiful and graceful. It never occurs to them that they could get hit as they bounce in the lanes where normally vehicles and trucks would be roaring down the road. How nice it would be to bounce through life without a care. And to live life, no matter what situation you are in, as if the next moment were to never come.

On my way home from work one afternoon, I saw this ginormous yellow butterfly. It seems like they travel in pairs. These two were dancing all over the place. I don’t live very far from the first point I first saw them. I watched as they made it to my house and then no more. I never saw them again. I don't know where they went, but wherever it was, they were together & happy.

We could all learn something from this. You can't take life so seriously and be so blind that you miss the little things around you. God places his creations within our view for a reason. There is beauty every where! One day I asked my co-worker if she saw the sky on her way to work and how beautiful the colors were. She responded, "I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to see anything". Open your eyes and let your soul see past all the layers. This life goes fast enough. Slow down, watch & listen. I'm thankful that I pay attention to all the little things. Life is much sweeter when you do =)
