How does one become a butterfly? You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar. -– Trina Paulus

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something. In order to be effective truth must penetrate like an arrow -- and that is likely to hurt.

-- Wei Wu Wei, –- Harry Truman, H. Jackson Brown Jr.




If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
 
--Annie Dillard
 

When I was young I used to dream about flying all the time, my dreams always allowed me to soar over objects, water, even flee from enemies. Sometime my flying was not strong and I would start like a baby bird with new wings, up and down struggling to stay a float. I loved these dreams and they repeated as if the rewind button was broken, always the same place and time and feeling. Since then I always felt like I needed to do more with myself, do something big, change things, anything ..set my mind free and soar into the unknown with with nothing but this feeling in my heart. These days I rarely remember my dreams, I am not sure why, but what I do know is; each day that passes is another step towards becoming a butterfly.
