being a girl scout troop leader for little 5 and 6 year olds offers up tons of laughs every week. their view of life is so hilarious...oh man.
we are currently working on earning our nature badge. so last night we took a walk around the housing projects looking for things in nature we could sketch. on our walk we found a caterpillar hanging out on a tree. the girls were immediately enthralled. so i ran into my office and grabbed my caterpillar house (yup i own one of those) and placed the little guy...who they named Sammie Cookies inside.
as i check-up on him this morning to make sure he is happy i got to thinking how AMAZING caterpillars are. i mean, i think that the awesomeness of something changing from a worm-like creature to a butterfly is one of the greatest examples of beauty in this world. and a great metaphor (i'm love metaphors).
this little caterpillars and us have so many things in common. we have a great purpose to our existence. we are here to make the world more beautiful then before we came. and i intend to put all my energy into create a place of beauty in this world. i will fail at times and i will succeed at times. but always i will be changing...challenging myself...and striving to create more beauty.
