Reverence and closure

While taking one of my barefoot walks, In the nearby garden...

On the ground, I saw a beautiful blue butterfly...

It lay there, beautifully, peaceful and wings folded..

I bend down to lift it up...

In my grip, between the thumb and index, I feel the weightlessness of it

And in my heart; the lifelessness of it.

I asked myself, what drew my attention to it? And what do I associated it with...

Probably I had my answers all along or may be the question was the only answer I needed...

I took the little one in my palms,

Came near to the side of a tiny shrub,

Dug-up a little mud and placed it in the lap of Mother earth.

Bidding it good-bye.

This gesture was a kind of freedom for me...
