“Butterflies are nature’s angels. They remind us what a gift it is to be alive.” —Robyn Nola, Appreciation and Love for Nature

When was the last time you saw a butterfly,

fluttering among flowers in the garden?

No, not on the cellphone, not in the books.

Go, find this lost lovely beauty and friend.

Make it alive in your hands, in your mind

with colors bright and happy in your heart;

tell the world her message of love, peace,

and shall never, never from us, depart.

“When the spirit of nature touches us, our hearts turn into a butterfly!” 

—Mehmet Murat Ildan (Contemporary Turkish playwright, novelist and thinker.)

Go, search your butterfly in the field,

to where she lives free and happy.

No, not with the lens or any gadget;

enshrine her forever like a deity. ~

"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 (American novelist and short story writer.) ~
