A wonderful reminder of the words shared at our wedding Steven Webb so thoughtfully chosen and how they continue to have meaning for both of us 🧡 Chaos Theory by Clint Smith If twenty million years ago the butterfly flew in a different direction do you think we would have met, maybe we wouldn’t have even been people, maybe we wouldn’t have even been us, you know, maybe you would have been a tortoise and I would be a raspberry, maybe we would both be plants on opposite sides of the same coral reef, so that we could have been connected without ever having met, maybe I would be an oak cut down to be the home that held you, maybe I would have never been, maybe the butterfly’s wings would have blown the seed into the river and away from the soil which otherwise would have become a bush of blueberries which otherwise would have been eaten by a squirrel or some other prehistoric rodent which otherwise would have died in a field of milkweeds which otherwise would have been carried by the wind to another place which otherwise might have gotten caught in the feathers of the bird which otherwise might have flown to the other side of the sea I could go on but what I mean to say is that it would have been such a tragedy if something happened that would have prevented me from meeting you like a butterfly who didn’t realize it was flying in the wrong direction.
