Metamorphosis

But not the Kafka-esque kind.


I needed to post a little something lighter after my last rantlet. So I thought of butterflies. Even though lepidopterae have mixed symbolic significance, I choose to think of them always in a positive light. And the symbolism of change they represent is apt, in the context of all the changes happening 'round here.


To my darling daughter . . . I give you wings.
