at the circular motion of the stars;
and they pass by themselves without wondering.

which are usually judgmental people ...
we should really surround ourselves with the ones
that adore us and believe in the highest of us.

I can enjoy this butterfly from a distance,

even away from the attentions of those
with whom they are most bonded.
