the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
- St. Francis of Assisi

To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places.

And never, never, to forget.
