Miracle on King Street

This morning we had a chrysalis in a dollar store bug catcher. 3 hours later a beautiful Monarch Butterfly is stretching it's wings on our patio table. I've never witnessed this live and in person. And complete with play by play updates courtesy of the girls. Life is full of miracles but it doesn't happen without participation. We wouldn't see this butterfly if not for the caterpillar that munched through untold milkweed leaves to nourish itself to get to this stage. I wonder what a caterpillar thinks about while it is in it's cocoon. Does it dream about flying or it's destination in Mexico?

I've been thinking a lot lately. Politics has been my passion but I have never flown. I've been munching through reams of data and opinions and need to decide if this is the time to stretch my wings.

Hmmm.

Cheers
