October 7, 2010-Butterflies are pure spirits


Today as I drove home from school I passed fields of corn and alfalfa, expensive cars, and butterflies.
Pale butter-yellow butterflies. They were so beautiful and happy-making. But I killed them.
I don't know how many I killed, hundreds maybe.
It made me feel awful. They were so innocent, so pure, nearly like children to my heart. But they flew in front of my car.
I wanted to stop, pull over, and be one of them. I wanted to fly away with them. But I just kept driving.
