WHAT'S IMPORTANT

"It's come to this: I'm sitting under a tree,
beside a river
on a sunny morning.
It's an insignificant event
and won't go down in history.
Above me a white butterfly is fluttering through the air
on wings that are its alone
and a shadow skims through my hands
that is none other, no one else's, but its own.
I'm no longer sure
that what's important
is more important than what's not."
- Wislawa Szymborska
