The Living Bush

What happens when an ordinary moment becomes extraordinary?

I was just sitting there reading my book by the hydrangeas and butterfly bush.

I heard it first and felt it second. The light rustle of breeze that comes from fluttering wings.

Looking to my left I realized that this butterfly bush was completely teaming with life.
