butterfly dreams

I will miss you, beautiful butterflies in the garden! Tomorrow the journey will start.

"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly.

I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. 

Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. 

Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man (...)" (Zhuangzi).

Zhuang Zhou or Zhuangzi (365 BC - 290 BC) was a Chinese philosopher and poet. His writings are very important for Daoism (Wikipedia 2013). The quote continues, also there are different translations, for further information I suggest you to start with Wikiquote: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Zhuangzi
