Bright yellow butterflies

I love it the moment I realize I’m seeing a sign from above. It halts me in whatever it is that I’m doing. Two different days this week, at two different locations, I have been graced with seeing this yellow fella. Both times, I was outside talking to friends at their homes. We were talking about Carly, and how hard this life is for her. She misses her brother so very much. The very moment I was talking about Carly, a “Cloudless Sulphur” fluttered around me. It’s fall here – the end of November, first of December. It’s not butterfly season. Sometimes I try to rationalize it away, and sometimes that just doesn’t work. So I’m pondering…..If this wasn’t a sign from above to provide a sense of comfort, that he’s near, that he’s watching and listening, then where are all the other butterflies?
