“Throughout my life, I have always felt a deep connection to the butterfly
and the metaphorical symbol of spiritual transformation it reflects.
However, I believe it is the untold story of the caterpillar
who actually lives the life of spiritual transfiguration.
Through my daughter’s encouragement,
I decided to write a story about a caterpillar inside the cocoon experiencing its life review
reflecting on the meetings with a myriad of animals and the many insights they shared.
When my journey with Charlie is complete there will be 52 stories in all.
~~~~~~~~
It has been a true joy and privilege to travel the winding path toward the heart,
and soulful quest for oneness alongside my little imaginary friend, Charlie.
“It All Begins & Ends Within
Charlie, the Caterpillar came into my life
To remind me that we are all
Students learning from each other
And we are all teachers sharing our gifts.
Sometimes we just need a different perspective
To see our uniqueness and our oneness with
All That Is”
“Today is the tomorrow
I dreamed of Yesterday
And today is the tomorrow
Of my future hopes to come.”
“All of life consists of
Shadow & light,
Like our vision of the moon.
What we see
And what we believe we cannot see
Is not the whole of
’All That Is’.”
”Always together
Yet also apart
But never separated
In the soul or the heart.”
“Sometimes we need to let go
Of logic and reason
And trust that things will unfold
In their own Divine season.”
“Only the very peaceful minds
Are truly brave hearted,
For they know what flows in
Was once what departed.”
”In the midst of darkness.
My light will shine
And in the midst of chaos
Stillness is my shrine.”
“I attract all my needs.
From tiny thought seeds.
Which I know I shall receive.
Because my heart taught me to…. Believe.”
“When we work diligently together as a team
Nothing is as heavy or as daunting
As it may seem.”
