The Bee and the Butterfly

"Bees and butterflies fly around this world making it a far better place. I truly do enjoy every moment one of these amazing and seemingly flawless creatures flies by. They have been such a small -yet huge- inspiration to the bounteous world of aviation."

This earth is bounteous with many different types of creatures that walk, swim, and fly. Every time one of these creatures roams by I cannot help but think of God, who created this amazing place for us all. Humans have long wandered the earth in a seemingly wonderful coexistence with all of these organisms. Birds, butterflies, and bees have also long lived on this wonderful planet. I truly do love all three of these wondrous creatures. It seems as if every moment I see them I want to fly even more. 

Ever since I was a young girl those flying creatures have stood out to me more than others. With the recent endangerment announcement of the Monarch Butterfly and the honeybee it is ever so important to protect our true aviation pioneers. See, these wonderful creatures have long inspired the world to push forward with the concept of flight. The perfect aerobatics of the birds that cut through the invisible air. Even the colors of the butterfly's wings flapping through midair in a seeming perfect manner. I always picture the bees landing on and gathering pollen from the flowers. 

This world is truly full of so many possibilities. I have seen so much, in fact so much that my eyes and mind are still in complete awe. Going to Hawaii was one of the many privileges that I got to have. Hawaii helped me feel that connection with the earth, ocean, as well as the sky. It really has changed my life. There is nothing like watching birds fly over the ocean blue in the most effortless manner possible. The small colonies of honeybees that dot the islands provide sweet smelling plumeria flowers for all to smell. The blessing of the butterflies enrich places all over the world. Thank you Hawaii for expounding my eyes to see the bigger picture. 

Here is my opinion on the pilots -the fish- of the sea:

"While I floated on the surface the fish swam beneath me. Some of them would fight the current as the waves rolled in and out. Secondly, each time a fish would swim by I couldn't help but be amazed at the different colors and textures present. Ocean temperatures were fairly warm, which made swimming even nicer. I continued on swimming until a school of fish swam around me. This caused some anxiety and the emotion of sheer amazement within my soul."
