“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” — Albert Einstein
chronicling my quarter life crisis
Indeed, each day that we live is one less that we’ve got: the great Catch 22 of existence – and the tolling of the bell on all passages and achievements.
A lovely light touch here – just like a butterfly’s wings. 🙂
ah so lovely and love the Escher creation ~ thanks, ^_^
oh yes the brief life. how lovely
here some of our butterflies go into a semi hibernation through the heat of summer. In autumn, after the males have all tattered and died, they emerge, looking new, and lay their eggs before winter.
sometimes we all have “caterpillar dreams” and naturally hardly fulfilled
A little bit of “gown time” is better than none at all, right?

Lovely piece and artwork to accompany it. 🙂 —Susan

they really do get dressed up in their fanciest gowns.
Lovely Bjorn
This is beautiful. I wish butterfly’s dreams lasted longer 🙂
lovely – I may put ‘caterpillar dreams’ in my secret file of favourite things
they get their chance
but have some growing to do
first
WoW! Almost like the dream of a high school graduate dreaming of her prom dress, turns her into a beautiful young woman. Lovely haiku!!
A beauty Björn and that Escher is awesome … I am a fan of his work …
I really do like Esher! And the temporary gown reminds me of Cinderella 🙂
Lovely!
