Buggin Me

A caterpillar, hatches, eats, grows and builds a cocoon. It just does what it feels the need to do when it feels the need to do it.

The butterfly destroys the cocoon as it is "born". It lifts it's wings and moves them to dry them. It flies away.

They are the same creature. It does what comes naturally to it. What does the caterpillar need to know of flying? What does the butterfly know of building a cocoon? They don't even eat the same way.

They know what they need for the body they are in at the time. When it becomes the next form, it learns a new way to live. They don't need to 'worry' about what comes next. No one teaches them, they just LIVE. They do what they need to do to survive.

If humans can be compared to the caterpillar and our spirits are likened to the butterflies, why are we so concerned with "flying"? What's wrong with just being loving humans while was are human?

We know how to be loving, caring humans. We chose how we live. Love or don't love. Care or don't care, it's our choice.

To make this world a little better, all we have to be is caring of it and loving of each other. Hug someone today. Call a friend and share your time with them. Love someone. Live, love, give and share lovingly.

Yes, there is more to life than being human in a body. But right now, that's what we are. It's no more "wrong" to be human with human needs than it is for the caterpillar to eat leaves.

Now, we live here.

Later, we fly!

And when we get our wings, I'll fly a lap around the universe with you.
