This monarch landed on my arm today and just... stayed. Didn't care about my tattoos, didn't care that I was mid-yard-work and not at all prepared for a moment like this. Just sat there like it had something to say. Didn't move for the flowers, didn't move for me shifting around trying to get a picture — just held on for a good few minutes like it knew exactly what it was doing. Sometimes the universe taps you on the shoulder (or in this case, your arm) and you just gotta let it happen.
