It was late afternoon, sunlight fading, and shadows lengthening…the forest had a hushed quality. And I saw something I had never seen before. A group of butterflies forming a circle, quietly resting on the path.
I watched in silent amazement, my imagination stirred. I felt as if I had stumbled upon a secret conclave of tiny butterflies.
And I wondered…was it an ordinary, natural phenomenon, or a sacred forest gathering? Perhaps I’ll never know, but I was honored to witness it.
After a while, the butterflies took flight and disappeared into the trees. I shook my head in wonder, grateful for the experience.
Mystery in the natural world…
