The little critter that gaily flittered ahead of me through the open door of my van.
Immediately, I felt I was in for some good luck. (don't ask me why; just some piece of random new age crap I picked up somewhere. somehow butterflies and ladybirds are lucky.)
However- my heart sunk when I realised- it was just a cabbage moth.
Why?
Why was I disappointed?
If a butterfly can be a harbinger of good fortune- then why can't a cabbage moth?
I decided to take a couple of pictures of the moth through the window before I set it free.
As I watched the beautiful creature dance joyfully out the back door of my van and return to it's play in the garden- a brilliant luminescence in the midday summer sunshine...
& as I viewed the resulting images, I realised...
The cabbage moth was just as beautiful as a butterfly.
And probably just as lucky.
Perhaps being able to see this detail was lucky enough.
What a piece of luck.
Very pretty, and I would say, just as lovely as a butterfly anyday.
