There is a Native American legend that says if you catch a butterfly and tell it your wish and let it go, the Great Spirit will know. In the Greek language the word “psyche” means both soul and butterfly, and the goddess Psyche was the wife of Cupid. And there is the “butterfly effect” and it is only real if you believe it to be so, very much like for “every action there is a reaction” and everything may end in chaos. One thing for sure the butterfly dances and flies for hundreds of miles before it dies, a fleeting moment in your time of something so beautiful, that you rarely notice that they are dying off, and flying less and less. Papillon du Coeur is a butterfly from the heart. “Hell where is my butterfly net…I gotta catch me one of those butterfly critters before they all die!” / Please take notice butterflies are dying and think why (?). / See more stuff at: montdragon /

Mariposa-Portrait of my daughter / (the story is cut off a bit …I put it in my writngs) / When I was in my teens the sign of insanity begin to show. / Maybe they were always there… I just could control then better I don’t know. / There were days often months of feeling like everything was perfect …the world seemed brighter …I felt I could dream anything and make it possible….at those times the world seems to hold magic. / And then there were the times (the ones I tried desperately not to show anyone) the times when the lights went on and I could see how messy my world really was. The constant voices I tried to ignore …my unhealthy obsessions with God. The crushing sadness (my ugly balance to the euphoric happiness); these are the times I wanted to die. I wanted to reach out and tell someone but how do you say to people I can’t seem to go on (most will not find it to their liking to listen anyway) ...so I pretended on bad days. For awhile anyway. / I moved and began a steady decline. My weight fell .I lost my taste for everything including life. I had a few good days but for the most part I was just in an unhealthy hopeful existence that things would get better. This is when I met Miguel (that story will come later) he took on the roll of caring for me and trying to make me better. When most only wanted me for my inspiration and the feeling I gave them. He wanted to make me feel life again. He started with food …he said one must live to eat ….not eat to live. And slowly things started looking up .A few ravenous fights in-between but I thought because we both had horrible tempers. Within the year I had my daughter. / After her things declined again .we fought all the time .because he said I needed help .I was still in denial but he could see the signs .he always said this is the reason in all my cruelty why he couldn’t hate me because he saw i was sick. The voices got worse .My obsession with God was tormenting I begged him to make me better. It never happened. / But in all the chaos I loved my daughter more than anything. Never hurt her .I was a good mama…and Even Miguel would agree to that. She was my only reason for wanting to go on. And trying to be better. But it became more and more difficult to control myself. / Miguel insisted I make an appointment after too much chaos .he said that he didn’t want her growing up with me like this. / I went and saw dr after doctor .they final outcome after many referrals was that I was schizophrenic. Because I was so young it had not fully set in .they showed me the faculties where I would be living .that after awhile I could not raise my daughter because I could hurt her and I would not be capable mother. I remember sitting in the office the doctors telling me they would give me something for now to calm me down. I start to cry and I asked what was I supposed to do now? They had no answer for me / I spent the week taking that in ….called God a fucking asshole a million time .Every time my daughter laughed etc .my thoughts went to God ...you fucking asshole how could you do this to me after everything I have gone though. That is God will saying that everyone loves to say in times of chaos and tragedy pissed me off like nothing else. / I remember her and I spent the day in the park .She was blowing dead dandelions she loves those ….and I thought she is not going to remember me in a good light .Miguel will not move on as long as I am alive. That I will be a constant sadness in there life. That I will be lost to insanity. I hated God…for taking the most perfect love away for me .it was like a cruel joke was being played on me. / I decide to take my life …Miguel saved me….I guess he always thought I was worth fighting for(he always said that just wait someday you will come together and you will see how perfect you are). I am blessed that he did. I thought it would be better for them .I now know different. I began to pray after that ….my one constant God please don’t make her me. I hope he listens this time. / I was eventually diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy and manic depression. I have come off all pills and paint everyday .I try like hell to make everyday liveable for everyone. I am the same person I always was but now one with hope and purpose. And I have days again where I feel immaculate happiness. / She was my reason for everything life and death because I would do anything for her to make her life better… I would give up anything. She was the reason for on the worst of day for me to get up. She was the reason I wanted to be a better stronger woman one she could look up and beyond too. I had someone to make happy .I had someone who needed unselfish love…..and needed me to show her that the world was indeed full of magic.

Another Painted Lady butterfly! This is obviously the outside of her wing, which is duller and mostly browny colours, but the sun was shining through it, highlighting the colours from the inside. Nikon D40 18-55mm with screw +4 & +2 filters.

Eres como una mariposa; / vuelas y te posas vas de boca en boca, / fácil y ligera de quien te provoca. Yo soy ratón de tu ratonera, / trampa que no mata pero no libera, / vivo muriendo prisionero. Mariposa traicionera, todo se lo lleva el viento, / mariposa no regreso. Ay, mariposa de amor, mi mariposa de amor / Ya no regreso contigo. / Ay, mariposa de amor, mi mariposa de amor. / Nunca jamás junto a ti. / vuela amor, vuela dolor / y no regreses a un lado / ya vete de flor en flor, seduciendo a los pistilos / y vuela cerca del sol, / pa’ que sientas lo que es dolor. Ay, mujer como haces daño, / pasan los minutos cual si fueran años, / mira estos celos me están matando. Ay, mujer que fácil eres, / abres tus alitas, muslos de colores / donde se posan tus amores. – words and music by Mana
