Happiness is like a butterfly

"Happiness is like a butterfly, which when pursued, seems always just beyond our grasp, but if you sit down quietly, may alight upon you."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Butterflies have many symbolisms. The one I like the best is that they represent the human soul which is the continuation of life after physical death.

Today, this white butterfly stayed on my young lavender plant for over an hour. I was quite amazed and it made me very happy.
