A ButterFly Story

How could one see themselves as a butterfly when they were to be the strongest of protectors?
The delicate butterfly could not be able to win the toughest battles with the bad people who try to break down the system....could it?
How with such paper thin wings could it withstand the mighty blows of the foe?
Could it out wit it's foe with the beauty it possessed and it's elegant gracefulness?



One day, after many months of fighting the battles that lay in it's path, the butterfly decided to fly away somewhere to rest.  It built a cocoon around itself for protection and was there for a very long time, not aware of what was happening within and outside the system walls.
After a very long time of sleep and much rest, the butterfly heard a desperate cry for help from one of it's littlest friends....with all its fury, the butterfly ripped oven it's cocoon and fell to the ground only to find itself in the form of a cheetah.
The cheetah leaped into action to help the system fight the foe that had all but taken over.  Fighting with all a cheetah has to fight with; teeth, claws, strength, and speed, the cheetah was winning most of it's battles.


The thoughts of having been a butterfly never left the cheetah's mind.
Having the feelings of gentleness and compassion of the butterfly was still a part of the cheetah's makeup, and it caused much confusion.
One day, after the battles had left the cheetah torn and weak, a friend come to help the cheetah.  When ask how the cheetah could be both a butterfly and a cheetah, the friend answered, "You have always been a protector, when you needed to be strong, you appeared as a cheetah, when you needed to be gentle, you appeared as a butterfly".
Imagine having all the qualities of both the cheetah and the butterfly.
Imagine how you could fight the fights and comfort the hurt all in the same breath.
Just imagine how good life would be.....
