My funny...butterfly
“How does one become a butterfly? She asked pensively.
You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”
- Tina Paulus
This quote was in a book I’d just picked up for the long weekend. In true Richard Bach fashion, I found just what I didn’t know I was looking for.
Richard also has a quote like Tina's…
“What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.”
“Each of us is in truth an unlimited idea of freedom. Everything that limits us we have to put aside.”
I’ve read and held these ideas before, but I seem to forget them. Each time I rediscover them when I need to be reminded. I experience one of those “Oh yeah” moments, an epistemological deja vous. This is precisely what a long weekend is for…reconnecting to the self and reframing our goals to match our inner ideals, washing away the smudges put upon us by the uninvited “other.”
