Friday Quote

Protection

"Protection has lived in many kinds of houses. Always the walls are
decorated with rugs and blankets from around the world. She has studied
ancient architecture and the habits of butterflies and spiders. When the caterpillar
is dying and the new butterfly is yet to be born, it constructs a chrysalis.
We also have this need. However, many of us are too proud
or have forgotten how to go inside. Protection has learned from the butterflies
how to make a chrysalis for the changing human heart."
