Yesterday Linzi posted the following on Facebook:  "If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies".  Later in the day when 'grandma' read that she liked it so much that she wrote it down with the idea that she might put it up somewhere in the house to be read.  I got up this morning thinking about it and as is my ilk I changed it to suit my persona and came up with:  "Change, believe in it, cherish it; for if nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies, And there would be no You!"    I believe that to be true.  After-all, doesn't that one word describe all of life in the simplest way?  From the way that we start our mortal journey to the moment of ending it we are constantly changing.  And each day in between is really an effort to change, to take advantage of, to mold each moment of opportunity to further, and to continue a process to change from what we are to what we can become.  I believe that we are all destined to become 'butterflies' in a real celestial sense and need to 'believe' that we will, not just that we can.  Oh, I do know just how easy it is to be distracted from that.  In fact, I have become expert at doing so.  But when I am at my best (or even just trying to be) I find myself 'cherishing' the opportunity that we have been given to be here, doing that.  And the really neat thing about it (the process) is that we can do it together, sharing the pain of the challenge and the joy of the transition.  One day we will all have our wings and be able to fly.  Take opportunity as it comes and know what 'will' be!
