"and Yellow decided to risk for a butterfly.
For courage she hung right beside the other cocoon and began to spin her own.
*Imagine, i didn't even know i could do this. that's some encouragement that im on the right track. if i have inside the stuff to make cocoons - maybe the stuff of butterflies is there too*
you'll be a beautiful butterfly - we're all waiting for you."
- excerpts from hope for the flowers by trina paulus
i have quoted these same lines before. but just like wisdom growing in us, every line makes for new interpretations.
so here goes.
new beginnings.
i dare say, that even though it is a good thing, it ain't easy.
there is always the fear of the unknown. of mediocrity. of taking risks.
but come to think of it, fears are just fears. they can't do anything to you unless you give in and stop trying.
"You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen." (P. Coelho, By the River Piedra I sat down and wept)
i took risks, it payed off. and now it is time to make big ones again. i believe i have grown to become a butterfly, and i'm flying and enjoying the glimpses of plans He has for me.
until the next flight... :)
