Butterflying a City

Tasha Lewis trails a stream of brilliant blue butterflies behind her. The magic reminds me of Magi from Fern Gully trailing flower buds and fairy dust every where she floated.

These blue butterflies are careful to alight to the metal surfaces they are magnetically attracted to without causing any harm and can easily alight at another location whenever desired. A lot of thought and planning went into the creation of these pop-up art displays throughout the United States but it doestn’t take a lot of thought to appreciate the beauty of these little pieces of nature decorating the urban landscapes. I used to remind myself to look for butterflies in the middle of winter. It meant something else then, but it also always meant to look for those pieces of blue skies in the midst of grey darkness. See the good in the bad. Be optimistic during times of trial. See the magic in every day life. Look for miracles.

For Tasha, looking wasn’t quite enough; she created.

Maybe it is time that I started creating my optimistic blue sky miracles too…
