Butterfly Effect

** "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 was 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.


** (...and it did.)
