The tiger butterfly is flying through the garden, a feeling of certain assuredness sets in - of its alighting on an Ixora or a Bougainvillea, since they are in its path. The tiger butterfly, charts its path in a straight un-looped line. The tiger butterfly flies a while, flies back along another charted path and leaves the flowers untouched.

there is still wonder
in the flight of butterflies
only passing by

    Our paths are unpredictable, regardless of our plans. Yes.

    Without a path, there is no fixed destinantion. I love the metaphor of the tiger butterfly...it makes me ponder.

    A beautifully rendered haibun. The haiku - which I found to be truly transcendent in its depth - completes the piece, perfectly.

    I love their erratic way of flying butterflies as it is a cross between 'which flower to I pick next?' or 'I feel a bit drunk the feast!
