A MarketPlace of Ideas                        

As I have mentioned in a previous post I am making a big move and  I can not take much of anything with me.  I re-found this metallic butterfly as I was cleaning up and organizing.  It is from a trip in 2004 with Carla to San Diego. We had stopped for lunch in Dateland Arizona.  The date shakes there are the best.  When we were returning to the car I noticed this butterfly on the sidewalk. It reminded me of Carla who is so very pink.  It was part of a broken hair clip. I picked it up and placed it on the dash board of the card.  It road there with us the rest of the trip. 

I didn’t treat Carla well enough.  She’s a butterfly and you just can’t be a horse in a china shop with a butterfly.  They have to fly away for their own good when you are a rough person.

Of all the mistakes I’ve ever made loosing Carla Valle Rego Sousa’s heart is the biggest. 

The borbaletas in Brasil are very beautiful.  I’ll keep my hopes alive I know but I doubt I’ll ever be forgiven. No one is indespensible.  I must toss the metal butterfly now but the question of why I am so damned stupid and inflexible will travel with me in the shape of a butterfly.

Now I only have myself to blame.
