What does it take to be a Butterfly?
Through the years I have often wondered why things turn out as they
do I find so many people as the ones that might read this are beautiful people that seem to have so much more confidence and talent that I have any reason to ask for. I am not famous. I am not rich. I am not what you would call beautiful.Yet, through my entire life I suffer so everytime I have ever
considered walking away from music. I am happiest when I stay here amoung you that I admire so much.
My daughter and I were talking recently about life ,how much I miss my parents, how much I hope for her,and in general what drives me to
this subject of music.
Sometimes we just don't understand it our selves...do we?
She said to me Mother when I think of you, I think of a butterfly.
Butterfly?....I looked confused I am sure.
She continued, caterpillars are very small and vunerable.They can not run
they do not get away from predators very fast. They are very grounded and it takes allot of work to get them big
enough to cocoon. The cocooning stage is even more hard work. Now here you have a lowly caterpillar working so hard just to put itself into a confining cocoon where its still only so safe.I don't to forget to metion very isolated.During the cocooning everything recognizable about the caterpillar changes that takes allot of work also.Yet when the caterpillar
emerges it is no longer the same. It took allot of work to get those wings strong enough to fly.
...Now Mother, Everyone Loves to watch a butterfly.Butterflys are beautiful.Yet butterflys are still vuerable and,they still have no other defence but to fly away. On occation though,A butterfly may not be intimidated by you and land right on your hand. Trusting and learning to change and fly are things that I see about you Mother. How much work did it take to make you a butterfly?
This did indeed make me think. Just how much work did it take ?...I thank God for my talent and I thank God for those that have been kind enough to help me and not broken my wings . I appreciate those who have realized how
fragile we all can be sometimes.
May God Bless all of you Butterflys like me. Love Rhythm Jones
