One Sublime Moment

Every fall, a magical event takes place in the animal world -- the annual monarch butterfly migration to Mexico. By instinct alone, the butterflies go to the same mountains that their ancestors left the previous spring. Somehow, they find a place in Mexico that they've never seen before.

On Saturday afternoon, the monarchs stopped in Fort Worth. My wife was working in the backyard and suddenly found herself in a cloud of monarch butterflies. The moment was silent and sublime.
