  • Butterflies

    May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun

    And find your shoulder to light on,

    To bring you luck, happiness and riches

    Today, tomorrow and beyond.

    ~Irish Blessing



    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


    I've watched you now a full half-hour;

    Self-poised upon that yellow flower

    And, little Butterfly! Indeed

    I know not if you sleep or feed.

    How motionless! - not frozen seas

    More motionless! and then

    What joy awaits you, when the breeze

    Hath found you out among the trees,

    And calls you forth again!

    ~William Wordsworth, "To a Butterfly"
