The Splendor of Simple Things

Linking with Toni's wonderful Wednesday Muse "Butterflies"

Would that I might
always have the heart
of chasing butterflies!
~Japanese hokku
In a world full of
 loud trucks
 crime
 and heartache
It is wonderful to have
 the softer and sweeter things
in life
like a light shower in summer
 rainbows across the sky
  flowers and butterflies.

    Sometimes we have to look for beauty.

    Yes, butterflies and dragonflies are miracles of creation. We should plant budleias and wild borders to encourage them. In return they will take the heartache out of our lives and replace it with love.

    And I see on your block you need no convincing about the merits of flutterbies as we once called then.
