A small wingbeat from a butterfly A color that makes the mind spin ~ The dream of a summer meadow Lie on your back in the grass and look at the sky and dancing clouds The butterflies do not count months or years ... but living in the moment Thanks for stopping by 13/07/2021 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

The green butterfly could teach us all "how to live in the moment" if we would sit and watch and breathe and let everything else go. Lovely reminder.

This is just too beautiful. So peaceful and serene. I always consider it such a blessing when a butterfly or a bird pays me a close encounter of the best kind. I never saw a green butterfly before though. How lovely. This is a fine write and love the pic. God Bless, JB

Beautiful verse, Anne-Lise, those times when I was young, I loved my back against the cool grass and looking up at the clouds.

Can you imagine a hundred of them in the meadow then their soundless wings take flight. You set the imagination wild.
