My thinking has changed over the years…as it has with people throughout the ages…sometimes I think our minds are like butterflies…our thinking grows in stages. When you think about it…physically…we change a little every day…just look in the mirror…you can tell…so doesn’t it make perfect sense…our thinking would change as well? Take love for instance…how beautiful is love…for there’s no greater gift I do believe…than love…as wonderful to give…as it is wonderful to receive. When I was younger…in my cocoon…still learning to find my way in a life so new…my vision of the world was limited…my vision of love was too. I didn’t understand, yet, how love is truly a work of art…how it’s easier to see love when I close my eyes…and open up my heart. I didn’t understand, then, how we were all created to love…to love ourselves and other people too…how it only matters that we love…it doesn’t matter who. Now when I see people in love…any people…any size, any color, sex, shape or age…I smile knowing like a butterfly…my metamorphosis of love is in it’s final stage. The stage where everything I’ve learned…comes together and converges… so when the butterfly comes out of his cocoon…with him…love emerges
