Allowing your mind to flow where ever it may go is a vital and rewarding thing. I enjoy creating art and trying to view the world from different perspectives. This was inspired by a photo taken in Sumbawa, Indonesia of a butterfly landing on a flower. Inspiration is also drawn from the overconfidence many people have in their calendars…sometimes things just need to flow.
A butterfly's view of the world.
When we see a butterfly in the sky, there is no pattern, there is no rhythm, there is no path. But what if butterflies do have a path? A plan? A calendar? What would it look like. From this flower to that flower.
This is a look into how a butterfly may see the world from their eyes. They follow the scent of the flowers through the wind, and complete tasks left behind them. They see the sky differently than us, a series of prisms and dots make up the sky. This butterfly has a one track mind. It’s keen sense of smell and innate ability to find the ‘smell jetstream’ of flowers is both impressive and incomprehensible.
This is how the butterfly sees the world; a beautiful, impossible vision of time, space, and focus.
What does your calendar look like?
Mine doesn’t look like this. This makes me want to toss mine and go wander through a field of flowers!
They are amazing, apparently they have only just the tools they need to meet their
single goal.
My calendar looks like a tide chart, sort of…. It’s not too full though.
My cal is pretty empty, just how I like it! Butterflies look busy to me.
The butterfly seems to have just the tools it needs to reach its goal.
Evolution seems to have trimmed them down to the bare essentials.
Guess that’s proof the Homo sapiens are aberrant. (^:
I think we all need more disconnect time. It’s great to think about how that butterfly got to the point where it looks so care free. Where are it’s enemies? What is it competing with? Does it have abundant food? It’s on autopilot – a really good one. Keeping up on my calendar and schedule of visits is the most challenging thing I do. Getting on the Butterfly calendar from time to time is a regular goal of mine.
