CLAIM YOUR WINGS To me the butterfly teaches the most important lesson that we human beings ever have to learn. You all know his story. He lived what seemed to him in a very long time as a worm---what we call the humble caterpillar. Now the life of a caterpillar could be taken as the very type symbol of restriction. He lives on a green leaf in the forest, and that is about all he knows. Then one day the little caterpillar finds certain strange stirrings going on within himself. The old green leaf, for some reason, no longer seems sufficient. He becomes moody and discontented, but---and this is a vital point---it is a divine discontented. He feels the need for a bigger, finer, and more interesting life. His instinct tells him that where there is true desire there must be fulfillment. And so the wonderful thing happens: the butterfly emerges beautiful, graceful, now endowed with wings, and instead of crawling about on a restricted leaf, he soars above the trees, above the forest itself---free, unrestricted, his own True Self. I love butterflies!!!!!!!
