"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."~Maya Angelou. When we can find the joy and purpose in our struggles, we have the opportunity to transform our lives. There is an element of surrender in this, to understand that in the obstacle is the gift. It is the struggle to be free of the cocoon of the past that gives the butterfly the strength to fly. "What the caperpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly." ~Richard Bach
