Guess there comes a time in our lives when we're in the cocoon in a resting and growing phase.

And that's as it should be.

Then comes the time when the cocoon begins to feel like a restraint and we want to exerience the world outside. We begin to break free.

And that's as it should be.

Then comes the time when we feel the need to explore the world from which we were once closed off.

And that's as it should be.

Then we find that the world isn't all that we thought it might, could, would be. There's ups and downs, hills and valleys, fear and love. All manner of things that we couldn't have imagined from the cocoon.

And that's as it should be.

Then we begin to find our way in the world, doing, believing what seems to work for us. A way to fly free is found that finally leads us to where we want to go and helps us to be what we envision we want to be.

And that's as it should be.

Then we begin to realize that not everyone wants to fly like we do. They have their own flight path leading to chosen destinations.

And that's as it should be.

Then we realize that all we really can do is to share our flight with others and let others share theirs with us. The journey isn't any less valuable or less loving because we have different flight paths. We enjoy more, we love more, we feel more open.

And that's as it should be.

Butterflies are free.

And that's as it should be.

Fly 'free' today.
