A butterfly spends most of its life as a lowly worm, chewing leaves, and then sleeps for several months, to emerge near the end of its life. As one of God's most elegant creatures. As people we are often like the worm, spending most of our time plodding away with our dull routines and troubles. But we are more fortunate than the worm for we have the most beautiful wings of all, the wings of imagination, and we can fly away any time we choose.
