Sandy Camp-The Butterfly Project

This is something that we got in to at Sandy Camp.

http://www.sdpcg.org/

I was moved by the involvement and the message. Varda Levram-Ellisman and Ellie Hitchcock coordinated this project for Sandy Camp, thank you ladies for your efforts. Tina Goodrich made over a hundred butterflies.
You too can become involved in this.

The Butterfly Project

"The last, the very last,

So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.

Perhaps if the sun’s tears would sing

against a white stone....

Such, such a yellow

Is carried lightly ’way up high.

It went away I’m sure

because it wished

to kiss the world good-bye.

For seven weeks I’ve lived in here,

Penned up inside this ghetto.

But I have found what I love here.

The dandelions call to me

And the white chestnut branches in the court.

Only I never saw another butterfly.

That butterfly was the last one.

Butterflies don’t live in here, in the ghetto."
