The Butterfly Ballet

Did you see the rose bushes in the arboretum this afternoon? Did you see all the powerful colors lighting up the garden? How about the butterflies dancing upon the petals of the roses? They dipped and they dived as though they were rehearsing for a spectacular performance. Twirling on the silken petals. I like to think of them as ballerina dancers dancing before the Creator of the universe. They show off all their varying colors and musical notes erupt each and every time they flap their wings. Rainbow-colored notes carried on the most delicate summer breeze....Flitting and fluttering and singing as though this were the most important performance of their lives. Butterflies dancing the most graceful beautiful dance and I got a sneak preview during their rehearsal. How splendid this moment of mine. I am not sharing this with anyone. I am keeping this performance all tucked away in my heart to savor for the rest of my life. Perhaps they will come back here again next summer to rehearse again. Maybe then I will bring my best friend! Gwendolen Rix 2-23-15
