Wisdom from a Butterfly

1 st May 2026

This morning a butterfly gave me company when I went for a stroll. It was active, hopping from one flower to another to have its breakfast. I observed that it was at home with every flower ranging from a Rose seated on thorns to a Sun flower which waiting for its boy friend “the Sun”. I asked it “What is the secret of your peace and happiness amongst the diversity of flowers.” It sported a divine smile and replied “ I observe only the good qualities in everyone. On the other hand you search only for the bitter qualities in people. I cannot help you. Change your attitude and become me.” I hung my head in shame and at present I am meditating on its wisdom. The ball is in your court now whether to evolve to become a butterfly or continue to be you.
