Butterflies

"When she had an idea, when she believed something, she wouldn't let go of it. And still - she was as fragile as her own butterflies, an artist who feels things deeply. 

To be sensitive is fine, but it makes day-to-day living - life - rather painful, I'd imagine. 

I used to joke that when someone cut down a tree in the Brazilian Amazon, or stepped on a fire ant, or when a sparrow flew smack into a sliding glass door, it hurt her."
