Like a butterfly evolving, we must love each stage we pass through. Be not judgmental of yourself. You are becoming a wondrous butterfly. ~ unknown

This Peleides Blue Morpho resides at our nearby Butterfly Pavilion. The pavilion is a wonderful place to see colorful and striking butterflies and moths in close proximity It is a treat to be an observer of such fragile beauty.

The contrast of this Morpho's design and color with its fragile body is striking. The beautiful designs in its wings provide protection. The beauty of this butterfly comes finally at the last stage of its short life. In comparison we too have to endure the fragile stages that make up life to arrive at a more peaceful place. Whether it is periods of darkness, pain, uncertainty, or conflict, equipped with strength in faith we are certain to arrive at a more beautiful stage. I am grateful for this.

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

Peace.
