** “Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”
~~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Today was less hot & humid than the past few days has been.  I never know what the weather is until I leave work usually after 7ish daily.Sitting in the parking lot, going about my routines of plugging in the cell for charging, locating sunglasses, tuning the radio… I noticed a butterfly dancing around the car.  I reached my hand out and it flew away.  Then I rested my arm on the window ledge and behold…

Looking closely at its torn wing I realized how fragile it is.  How trusting it is to land on another creature exponentially bigger than it…and stay there for a while.  There were numerous places it could have landed but it sought me out. 
What did it find interesting about me? 
I’ll never know. 
Amazing how this delicate creature made me think of so many connected (konnektd) themes in life.

If you’re still alive
My regrets are few.
If my life is mine,
what shouldn’t I do?
I get wherever I’m going,
I get whatever I need
while my blood’s still flowing
and my heart still beating like a hammer, beating like a hammer.

Do You Remember?
Those Special Times
They’ll Just Go On And On
In The Back Of My Mind…

If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be, we’re all okay
And not to worry
‘Cause worry is wasteful and useless
In times like these

I won’t be made useless
Won’t be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear

There is no color.
Just light.
When it bends, the refraction creates the beauty we see.
There is beauty in the breakdown.

And take your time, To trust in me

And you will find, Infinity…
