Why cling to one life
till it is soiled and ragged?
The sun dies and dies
squandering a hundred lived
every instant
God has decreed life for you
and He will give
another and another and another
— Rumi

A lovely portrait of a monarch–heartwarming.
Thank you very much, Sally. 🙂
Monarchs are sooo beautiful – great capture – she’s lovely! Nice, pairing Rumi’s poem to the butterfly.
Hi Eliza, thank you.
I love Rumi’s poetry and looked long and hard to find one befitting this dying monarch, with whom I had quite an existential moment on the beach in Door County last month.
I’m happy you liked it. Thanks. 🙂
I’m sorry she didn’t make it to Mexico. Let’s hope a lot of her peers did.
I thought the same thing. 🙂 🙂 Thank you.
