The boys found this butterfly yesterday. It couldn't fly because it's left wing was ripped off at the tip. It still tried..slowly fluttering. Clancey gave him some nector from a flower, then put him near the gutter, where there was a puddle of water. He was still alive this morning. His spirit seems strong. Sometimes don't you feel like this? Broken..emotionally, mentally, spiritually or physically somehow? Yet we are still remarkable and capable of surviving. And since we are not as helpless as this butterfly, we will most likely fly again.
