BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS

How does one become a butterfly?  Pooh asked pensively.  You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.  Piglet replied, ‘You mean to die?’ asked Pooh.  “Yes and no, ‘he answered. ‘What looks like you will die, but what’s really you will live on’

– A. A. Milne

“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you would sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”

– Nathaniel Hawthorne

“I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow flowers and butterflies in summers that have been.

– J R R Tolkien
