Mirroring the Journey of a Butterfly

Dead butterflies amassed by my superfluous work truck. Was this highway built amidst a migratory pathway? Thinking back to a paper I read in college, monarchs migrate from Mexico to Canada requiring multiple generations to complete their migratory circuit. Their thin featherweight wings are deceiving, generating a delicate presence, but their vigor and tenacity exceed all appearances.

Inspired by these persistent creatures and their life cycle, which is subdued by thermal forces and aerial currents, reflection settles through my skin. While successive generations are dedicated to a northern migration into the northern US or Canada, another generation is steadfast to make a journey from their final northern destination back to Mexico before winter climates cycle through. If these diminutive insects can resolve distances up to 3,000 miles from the time spring is born to the falling of autumn leaves, what can I overcome?
