Teaching the Caterpillar to Fly -- A work in progress The caterpillar crawls and eats and eats. And grows, shedding its skin but little more. Crawl, climb, eat. Crawl, climb, eat.| Of all of our lives, can we not soar? One day as two caterpillars looked As a beautiful butterfly sailed by. Of course one said to the other: Youll never get me in a butterfly, high. Gratefulness, laughing and smiles. But no clear understanding or view Of these ironies and implications What was The Answer you knew? Resistance. Perspective. and Change. All of these and more are involved. Yet insight is limited. And self-perspective too. My mother was a moth - this problem is solved. One must STOP in the caterpillar journey For transformation, what we can become. One must change to a much gooey mess to undergo metamorphosis and change. Is the potential understood? Is it realized? We just dont know. Yet it does. The Call of The Wild. And the need to Become. Gain the wings, lose the teeth and the fuzz. It is about letting go, trust the process Of growth and experience and your view. It is Becoming. You are more than you are With things you already had. And you knew? The colors are on the butterfly And already within what we were. Can we all learn from this? Can we help? These changes will most surely occur. By Scott J. Simmerman © 2000 TOUCHED BY A BUTTERFLY Dear butterfly, Majestic monarch of the sky, holder of universal secrets and reasons why, color my canvas, touch my heart before I die, to live in joy, teach me how never to say good-bye. As you flutter by, you hear me sigh, things missed because I forgot to try, on your serene beauty I can rely, oh what celestial magic you do supply. Once you did struggle to be free, you turned your life around to show me, amazing my angel how you heard my plea, youve cocooned my mind so I can see. Lets fly together both as one, and sore beyond time, once upon, our silken wings God has spun, Souls entwined, our infinite journey has just begun.
