Beautiful butterflies

I watched an ace thing last night on how we all can change the world moment by moment by what we do, or don't do. The link is below if you'd like to watch it too. I love that the guy deliberately grew too many tomato seedlings so that he could give them to his neighbours so that they would start growing their own food. This kind of intentionality of which I've spoken before (my friend calls me “naughty in a nice way”) makes my heart swell :D
In the talk he quotes Raymond Williams, that “The key is not to make despair convincing, but to make hope possible.” It's that choosing love not fear again, and spreading it.

I believe we are all beautiful butterflies, changing our world for the better with every little meaningful action. Today is my town's Club Day and loads of people turn out to watch as all the churches and schools come together to parade and I get to smile at tons of people that I've come to know in the 14 years that I've lived here. You won't see my wings, but I'm proud to be one of so many people who I know daily take little or big steps to make a difference. I do hope you enjoy your fluttering today :D

  1. I felt like a butterfly today, flitting up and down the parade. And I think me and Abbie even looked a bit like butterflies so I've posted a picture :D
