I've been thinking about it for a week, and writing it on and off for three days. It's a difficult story to tell, especially as it's such a contrast to the rest of my travels.

I could have closed my eyes for an hour or a day and opened them again to the same scene.
This is what the communists called equality…
There should be a martial arts style named after butterflies.
There is a Philippine weapon called a balisong often labeled a butterfly knife in the west… the real butterfly knife is actually a short sword, often used in pairs, called the húdié shuāng dāo used in Kung Fu.
I walked across a covered path and into the small field behind the little concrete building. The sun beat down on my head and a layer of sweat plastered my light cotton shirt to my back, midsummer heat in the first week of January. A sunburn began to creep into the part in my hair.
Of Butterflies & Philosophers

Like butterflies, into this world many philosophers are born. Like the fields of indistinguishable fleeting creatures, the masses of thinkers "live beside us but not among us, in a world all their own."
Like a previously unnoticed little white butterfly who rested calmly upon a land mine, is a gifted philosopher whose words can ignite a powerful explosion of insights, understanding, and motivation to reveal and to defeat any monster under the bed.
I am in awe of this Butterfly Philosopher who paints unforgettable inspirational word pictures and have been blessed to have known her since the beginning of the butterfly fears. :)

I'm also uncertain whether to leave it friends-only or open it up to the rest of the world.

I know about butterfly knives, but I still think butterflies have a martial arts style waiting to be made after them.
