animals

today at the beach i met an old man. we began talking about trash and the amazon. we spoke eye to eye.

after some time, he told me there is a little blue butterfly right in my heart center. i told him i have a dead blue butterfly in a keepsake frame at home. he said there is a reason for it.

now i am walking around with an agate in my left sock and a rose quartz in my right, and i'm feeling pretty numb, pretty tired, kind of foolish. i see the sacred in this life. within me. within each cell a universe.
