Butterflies and Horse Shit

February 1st, 2010

Butterfly on horse shit compressed
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???

    Sailing on the Maile

    January 28th, 2010

    andreasailing Sometimes my life has a dreamlike quality to it. In the midst of my daily juggling act to keep all of my balls in the air, very often beautiful little miracles appear. I say YES and find myself having a unique experience- surrounded by incredible natural beauty and fantastic people. Yesterday was one of those days. Artist and ecology educator Peter Antrim Kowalke asked me to join him and his Art In Sight Board of Directors aboard a sail on the Maile. The wind was light and we did more motoring than sailing, but the water was this incredible indigo color, we saw lots of whale tail, and the company was great. I always appreciate the shift in mental perspective that I get from seeing the islands from the water. It is like looking at life’s challenges from another angle to gain new perspective. Look from above, look from below, look from the water.
