We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever. — Carl Sagan
Whenever I see butterflies, it’s always on similar days, in similar circumstances. Fluttering on a flower, flapping lightly through a clear blue sky that’s not too hot, not too cold. Every spring, millions of butterflies fly all over the world, to live for one day, then to die away.
Each day a butterfly sees is unique. And yet, the billions of springs that our planet has spun through…the fact that a butterfly was able to experience only briefly a small part of the continuum of the seasons…
They’ve had the chance to taste briefly the bittersweetness of forever.
