I was on a bus heading north out of the downtown area, browsing through a fashion magazine to pass the time. The colors and the patterns of the clothes were jarring, incompatible with those outside the bus window - sandstone, gray, and limestone, asphalt and metal chrome, a rather mundane bass line overlaid with the bright dresses. And then, there it was, just in the corner of my eye - a grace note, fluttering above the cars and over the bus - a butterfly, wending its erratic path on a quest, perhaps to meet a bazillion of its own kind in Mexico.
As I watched it make its way, determined in its direction, however much it was tossed in the air currents, it reminded me that the object of travel "is not the destination, but the journey." And it made me smile.
