Beauty and the Mundane

“Yesterday as I was de-pooping the yard a butterfly landed at my feet. He was the size of a silver dollar, mostly black with crimson around the border of the wings and specks of yellow just near the crimson border. The shape of the wings reminded me of a harp. I was mesmerized by the delicate beauty. I was astounded that such a delicious gift of renewal was placed before me as I tended to my mundane chore. I witnessed the depth of this beauty and delighted in the song being played by the flapping of his wings. Then I urged this little butterfly to scoot before he was trampled by my dog Fionn.” – Lisa Zuercher from Reflections of My Day, 6 October 2014.
