just as the butterfly
settles on a flower
and spreads her wings
in reverence to the sun
so
let our minds
still, and feast
on the nectar
of this sublime
life

Hi Deborah – thank you!
I hope you are well? I have been really busy this summer and not around much to post. I’m trying to, slowly, catch up 🙂
Yes, Wordly Winds, the “nectar of this sublime life” is truly sweet, indeed; even with those itsy bitsy faeries, who are only in it “for the teeth”…
Hehe – so true 🙂
