Butterfly Fold

Two butterflies scallop through my garden

They seem to have great fun

They fly high and fly low to sadden

Even the sun in their playfullness 

I would display there in my garden

Had i known their names

Maybe i could ask a warden

Neither Green marble, Rice paper nor

Wandering skipper, i beg your pardon

Just two whites skipping and tasting

Sight of butterflies two in my garden

Retreat Salybia

Those day, singing in the senior choir we would during tbe Lenten Season, put aside a day, to go somewhere out of the city, somewhere remote, somewhere we wouldn't dare travel to everyday.

So there we are in the mini bus, some call them maxi taxis. We always prayed the rosary on the way. On our retreat day to Salybia, we leave St James around 6:00AM. 

We pass through forested areas to get there.At the retreat site  there is the sea in  the background.
