that certain song
that certain glance that invites
that certain laugh that ignites both
that thing shared equally
that fly by butterfly seen by both hearts
reach out to the flow

a mini peck
a blown kiss gives a flutter
an infinitesimal touch
the tiniest affection grows huge in the heart

Inspirational photo by Tara McLaughlin To quote Tara, “This little Eastern-Tailed Blue butterfly was nectaring on a white clover flower. It’s so tiny – about the size of a dime. You can see its proboscis curled up.”
“The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.” —J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

“The mystery of migrating monarch butterflies has captured the attention of people throughout the world. East of the continental divide in North America, monarchs generally migrate to central Mexico from as far away as Ontario, Canada. Monarchs west of the divide fly to the coast of California to spend the winter. They cluster together on tree limbs during the winter months in California by the thousands, and in Central Mexico by the millions.”
