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.....
