The past chases like butterflies on the wind. Wild. Erratic. Seemingly innocent, but perhaps not quite as pure as it makes out to be.
The past hardens a person. A butterfly trapped in amber. Locked solid. Opinions and beliefs are formed. Decisions made harder, easier, made.
The past is what makes a person. Builds them up. Turns them into moths or butterflies. Opens up opportunities and closes other doors.
Their past is one of adventure, of mystery and intrigue, of finding the truth and things that should be no more than fiction (but are as real as the beauty and quick passing of a butterfly).
Their future has been shaped in some ways and in others is as unpredictable as can be. It lies ahead of them. Waiting. Changing (a caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly) as their present affects their past, which alters the paths their future can take.
In the end, the past, the present and the future are one and the same. Like the flutter of a butterfly's wings, it, life, goes on.
