This morning the weather was very bright but quiet without the usual chirping of birds. Even though it was very quiet, I continued to walk through the small forests to find something interesting. I kept walking until the wind came and whispered very softly. The leaves in the small forest began to dance softly following the rhythm of the soft melody brought by the wind.
While enjoying the dance of the leaves, suddenly a very simple appias libythea butterfly came and perched on one of the leaves in front of me. The butterfly stood very quietly on the leaf as if it wanted to listen to the morning story. Maybe it was also curious why this morning was so different, very quiet as if there was no life.
The butterfly that I met had a very simple appearance. However, its simplicity was able to make anyone who noticed it stop for a moment to admire it. It did not have wings as beautiful as a rainbow, but its calm attitude made someone amazed by it.
Its simplicity and calm attitude seemed to tell the story of the long journey it had gone through. The attitude of this butterfly was very different from other butterflies that I often met. This butterfly is really very calm and not in a hurry.
