Look at this butterfly, so beautiful, so delicate.
I can enjoy this butterfly from a distance,

even away from the attentions of those
with whom they are most bonded.

Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright.
We're letting our own light shine.

with the idea of being in love?
Unfortunately, it is actually quite common.
Someone wants desperately to have

with the white picket fence.
They choose the colors for the nursery.
They design all the aspects of their married life.
A real person stands no chance of measuring up to those fantasies.

people of different faiths in Lake Wobegon,

There's no bond between people that's quite so strong as
when people each feel slightly superior towards the other one.
