My first outing of the entire day. Against the forest green vines I noticed my soul animal, a little, white butterfly. I always notice them. I don't know why I relate. Maybe I want to be like them: Small, light, happy. Quiet, humble. Free.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> I watched the humble, little bug freely flap her wings through the sunbeams, contentedly. Out for an afternoon summer stroll. Upon looking closer, however, I noticed that one of the butterfly's wings had seemingly been torn off, leaving little behind than enough to keep her afloat. How was she flying with such a deformity? What laws of physics was she defying in order to dance through the air?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Before I had noticed her mangled wing, the way she flew really did seem like a dance. When I eventually saw it, the dance turned into a limp, but nothing had shifted in her movement except my perspective. Why couldn't she still be as free as before I noticed her scars? They had always been there, and I admired her effortlessness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> Is the glass half full, or no? The wounds from her past made her more beautiful and dance more freely than she ever could have before them.</span><br />
