Broken but still flying

Sometimes the picture says it all.

I was late to church today to take my pictures.  The birds were almost all gone.  It was warm and bright.  And the only thing really moving was the water and this butterfly. 

It wasn't until I got the camera home that I saw what made this butterfly so unique.  Its wings are broken.  They're flawed, missing chunks.

And still the butterfly flew.

Still he lived.

And still he was beautiful.
