Butterfly - Oregon 1999

I've spent all these years wandering this earth searching for the one thing I thought I needed. But there really wasn't anything that could satisfy, but the realization that I was to be a butterfly. I was a little caterpillar living out my daily life doing what I thought was right. I played every role, I wore every mask, but no one appreciated or recognized what I was doing for them. Then I realized that I needed to take some time for me. So I moved out of the nest and found a place to rest where I could gather my thoughts and unload my tears and take the time to sort through all my fears. So here I am in my little cocoon, waiting for God to give me a sign that now it is the time to spread open my wings and break out of this shell and bring forth that beautiful butterfly that's always been inside, but needed to go through His transforming love to be all that He intended for her to be!
