I was driving down my road and saw this butterfly enjoying a fresh pile of horse shit. It seemed like a visual metaphor for life. I certainly got a lot out of it. Here are a few life lessons to be gleaned from the experience:
We are divine butterflies who instead of being attracted to the beautiful flowers of life are sometime inexplicably attracted to the horse shit. Sometimes we roll around in it for a while.
When life gives you horse shit remember it can be beautifully adorned with a butterfly.
The County had just sent a street cleaner to clean my street- which in itself is funny because I live on a very off the beaten path, rural, half paved road- and some of the local horses got lose that same day and shit all up and down the road. Lesson? Don’t be attached to the fruits of your labor. Life is constantly in transition. Don’t be too proud of your cleaning job, it will be a mess again tomorrow.
Ah…. OK…I am out of life lessons gleaned from a butterfly on horse shit. Got your own???
