As you may have guessed, I’m fond of butterflies. In fact, fond would be a gross understatement. I love butterflies.  As much as I would like to explain why, I am at a loss for words.  I’ll let others do the speaking for me.

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.
~Rabindranath Tagore

I only ask to be free.  The butterflies are free.
~Charles Dickens

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

We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.
~Carl Sagan

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
~Chuang Tzu

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

Life is short, quit thinking about it.
