This butterfly must have quite a story to tell. It seems to have been through a lot, but it’s still pretty. It reminded me of a program I saw recently on monarch butterflies. One of the segments showed a butterfly after a very long migration northward. She had just finished laying her eggs on a milkweed and was trying to fly away. Her wings were tattered and transparent; her colors and design were faded; she was weak and could barely fly. What a journey they have.

What a journey they have, indeed. And what a gift to be a witness of even a small part. Beautiful.
