Become An Original Creature of Nature

"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes

it has gone through to achieve that beauty."

Maya Angelou

Pieces of art usually begin with one small inspiration and often the artist is led to places he or she never expected to be.  A particular idea can catch hold and enhance beyond expectation or it can be squelched into nothingness.

Human beings are like butterflies, spending endless time in cocoons that can be too harsh or not supportive.  We wiggle our lovely selves around until we have the inertia to thrust forward.  It is these very twists and turns that create our unique nature.

We easily observe a butterfly without acknowledging the changes it has gone through in order to become a delicate creature in the midst of nature.  If we stand in awe in front of mentors or historians, we never really comprehend their massive struggles.   We, too, have the choice to overcome obstacles and become an original creature of nature.
