“The Lifecycle of a Butterfly” by Dustin Graf
A visit north to my son and his family’s place contributed some new material for my grandchildren’s web page, Graf Kids. My grandson Dustin added some words to his picture page about his class trip to the Milwaukee Public Museum, and I got some new artwork from him and my granddaughter. The museum page and artwork will be updated in the next couple of days, but one way they related is in this art drawing called “The Lifecycle of a Butterfly”. There is something intriguing and revealing about this picture, and the butterfly experience was a central part of our trip to the museum. In other postings I have talked about the chaordic universe and the butterfly effect, how a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil could cause tornadoes in Texas. In a child’s view, like that of my grandchildren, there is a connection between all things. Also some adults with great insight, mystics or those we call “persons with a mental illness” often have this same vision of the connectedness of the universe, the butterfly effect. To glimpse this connection of all creatures is both a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing because we find great joy and peace in the wonders of creation. It is a curse because we must then also share in the suffering and struggles of creation.
