Butterfly Child

Breeze is gentle over a path dappled in sunshine as child runs around the garden no sense of mischief chases a butterfly flitting by capricious as the wind. Now she stands very quiet and still, as if caught in the split second of a near-trance, butterfly ceases its flight to perch on her nose. Child and butterfly - alike in a separate attentiveness, balanced and held in equilibrium by a nip of nature, an eternity snatched in a rare and precious moment. @jjote 0816/2015

The conscious mind extends itself beyond our norms and we enter a world composed of reality defused with imagination where beauty is tentative and so precious as to awe us with its purity and scare us with its fragility. Emile.
