Simplicity

In high school I fell in love with these words of Henry David Thoreau: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”

Yesterday, as I sat in my healing chair, I could fully see the butterfly bush just beyond the terrace. Covered in purple blooms, the bush was also filled with large yellow butterflies and small birds.

An internet search tells me that butterflies symbolize transformation, freedom, and rebirth.

May it be so.
