METAMORPOSIS

METAMORPOSIS

Having just emerged from its cocoon, a butterfly sit on
a leaf, its wings spread wide so the sun can dry them.
In a few minutes it will fly for the very frist time.

Not to long ago it was a caterpillar eating its weight
in leaves. Do you think the caterpillar new it was going
to be a butterfly when it closed itself up in its cocoon,
did it know a metamorposis would take place.

Does the butterfly now sitting on the leaf remember it
was a caterpillar. Or does it now, have no memory of its
former life, and this is like a birth, the only one it
remembers.

When our time comes to leave this world, will a
metamorposis take place. Will we come out the other side
changed, will we remember the life we left behind. And
like the butterfly, will we also fly for the very first time.

Ten Rules for Being Human

Ten Rules for Being Human

by Cherie Carter-Scott
1.You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.
2.You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."
3.There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."
4.Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.
5.Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.
6."There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."
7.Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.
8.What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
9.Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.
10.You will forget all this.
