The Butterfly in you

There's a way of playing safe, there's a way of using tricks and there's the way I like to play which is dangerously where you're going to take a chance on making mistakes in order to create something you haven't created before.

Dave Brubeck.

Stage one

A worm is probably the worst type of existence imaginable. a worm crawls on its belly, is slow in its movement and is one the most vulnerable creatures. Worms play it safe, worms avoid and worms live constantly with the fear of being eating.

Stage two

In its second stage a worm cocoons, here the worm is stagnant, quiet and unaware. Still very much filled with fear, it knows it would rather be worm than to await what is to come. Using its trick of survival it blends in, similar like a tree during autumn it is barren and unproductive.

Stage three

Emerges the butterfly, it is said that once the butterfly appears from its cocoon it has not recollection of it ever being a worm. Butterflies are gracious, they have purpose and are distinguishable as no one is exactly like another. It is at this point where we realize that most of us live our lives as worms never realizing that they too will one day be butterflies. The lifespan of a monarch butterfly is approximately 9 months in those 9 months it is said that a flutter of a butterflies wings can cause a typhoon halfway across the world or help a bouquet of tiger lilies bloom.

The point is we are not were we want to be because we think we are already where we want to be.
