"If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies."

z came rushing into the apartment this morning, urging me to come downstairs to meet our little visitor. i followed him to the hedges and there sat this beautiful creature. we stared at it in awe for a few seconds, then i quietly snuck away to get my camera. what a nice gift from God this sunday morning.

speaking of sundays, mine evolve around house chores, studying/reading/homework, and grocery shopping for the week. today is no exception. in fact, my school work appears to be overwhelming already as i sit at my desk stacked with binders and ridiculous amounts of reading material. but however overpowered i may feel, i believe the butterfly came to remind me that in the end of all this change and hard work, something beautiful will come out of it. just like a butterfly.
