When a Butterfly looks at you

Just like it was posing for me to take its picture...it was interesting being observed as I observed! Click on image to enlarge picture.

I BELIEVE I CAN FLY

They believe...be sensible
prepare now
save for the future
work hard while young
enjoy when old
no pain no gain

They believe...compromise
follow the crowd
stay within the lines
keep your head clear
keep your eyes straight
ahead
feet on the ground

What about now! what about roses? what about stars?
what about chasing rainbows, floating clouds, butterflies...
what about silver linings, serendipity, spontaneity...
what about moonbeams, sun-rays, raindrops?

I believe....
I believe I can cut my own pathway
I believe I can step off the edge and not fall
I believe I can close my eyes and follow my heart and soul
I believe I can walk in the rain and not get wet
I believe in today and have hope for tomorrow
I believe in dreams, I believe in me....

I believe I can fly!

PS - Actually, I believe this is a moth and if anyone knows what kind it is, please leave it in the comments. It looks so furry in the closeup. I don't think it's a hummingbird moth, unless it's a baby one!
