On a green expanse still damp from last night's rain, a Blue Pansy butterfly was perfectly spread out its wings. I slowly approached the butterfly's resting place. I saw it perched peacefully there, its demeanor so calming, as if it were the meeting point between the warm light and the shady green of the bushes. It was truly a harmonious sight.
Its perfectly spread wings showcased every detail of the carvings on them. The blue resembled a calming, deep ocean flanked by bold black and pale lines that resembled a map of its long journey. The two dots at the tips of its wings resembled a pair of eyes ready to survey the entire world.
Behind its beauty today lay a difficult and tense journey. From an egg preyed upon by ants, to a caterpillar hunted by small birds, to a narrow, dark cocoon. And today, it had a pair of beautifully carved wings, showing off to the world under the gentle sunlight and the remnants of last night's rain.
