“How does one become a butterfly?”
“You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”
“You mean die?”
“Yes and no! Life is changed, not taken away. Once you are a butterfly, you can really love the kind of love that makes new life. It’s better than all the hugging that caterpillars can do.”
(Trina Paulus, “Hope for the Flowers”)
