They hadn’t actually seen each other because the whimsy of wind and distance was playing cat and mouse with the favorable airflow of a fortuitous path crossing.
While minding the meandering momentums of the day, a mutual, steadfast spirit stayed true and led them to this marvelous moment of a simple handshake.

i believe it is always a ‘special’ moment when a butterfly ‘chooses’ to make one’s acquaintance – i particularly applaud the use of the word ‘mutual’ – with this additional element, you have eloquently and elegantly captured a very unique and precious moment – of which it truly is.

The words carry the beautiful contrast, at the same time intimate closeness of the butterfly’s delicate wings against the aged hand, and give it a deeper meaning.
