What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.

Perspective is everything. What you see, someone else will view differently. When you have a problem if you change your view of it, step back away from it, look at it with different eyes,then what appears to be a problem becomes a golden opportunity.

The caterpillar see it’s death, but to the god force we have a transmutation to another form.

Are we like the caterpillar?

We see the coffin, not the transmutation of human to angel:(for want of another word.)

From our perspective (exterior from the caterpillar) we see the metamorphosis as a beautiful metaphor for life, but from the point of view of the caterpillar it views the chrysalis as the coffin.

Being in the “now”, allows us to sluff off the viewpoints of the past, and allows us to contemplate a different reality, a different way.

This Friday and for the weekend, take the time to alter your perspective, look at the world from the eyes of a snake,or the eyes of an eagle. Write about it in your journal.

Here is a movie that illustrates my point beautifully,

Paper Airplane

Have a great weekend.

And walk in quiet places.
