Today I went for a “run” out at Crystal Springs Reservoir. When I was almost back to the car, I was getting pretty tired and had decided to stop jogging and walk when I got to “that line of shadow up ahead.” Right before I got to the shadow, a butterfly appeared beside me and flew on at my jogging pace next to me. I thought, “This butterfly wants to see me succeed! He wants me to keep running! Thank you, butterfly, thank you!” Just then, he darted up and I saw him fluttering away with another butterfly, clearly going to make a butterfly love nest.
Well, it kept me going for a little while anyway.

maybe the one flying next to you was trying to find a way to impress other butterfly, saw you and decided to “race you” to the shadow.
butterfly probably was all like,” look at me! i can keep up with a human. i’m awesome.”
so really the butterfly owes you a thank you for helping it to score.
…and I owe the butterfly a thank you for these sore, sore shins?
Not a fair trade!
sore shins –> true love.
yeah that is a bit of a rip off.
