I'm particularly down today, feeling extra lonely and missing those I have lost.
So here I am, laying on this grassy hill, waiting for the sun to set, letting wave after wave of sadness flow over me. Then, a monarch butterfly flutters over my head, distracting me for a moment from my sadness before it flutters away.
Almost immediately after the butterfly disappeared I sunk again, deeply, darkly. And again, the monarch fluttered by my head for a moment. Distracted again. Then it vanished.
Sadness. Then the monarch. Again. Five times. Eventually I wondered. Is it coincidence? So I moved under a different tree. Sadness.
Then the monarch fluttered over my head again. I smile.
