Music: A Time For UsMusic: A Time For Us Revised By: HenryRevised By: Henry

One day, a smallopening appeared in acocoon; a man sat andwatched for thebutterfly for severalhours as it struggledto force its bodythrough that littlehole.

Then, it seemed

to stop making any progress.

It appeared as if it hadgotten as far as itcould and it could notgo any further.

So the man

decided tohelp the butterfly: hetook a pair of scissorsand opened thecocoon.

The butterfly thenemerged easily.

But it had a witheredbody, it was tiny andshriveled wings.

The man

continued towatch because heexpected that, at anymoment, the wingswould open, enlargeand expand, to be ableto support thebutterfly’s body, andbecome firm.

Neither

happened!In fact, the butterflyspent the rest of its lifecrawling around witha withered body andshriveled wings. Itnever was able to fly.

What the man, in

hiskindness and hisgoodwill did notunderstand was thatthe restricting cocoonand the strugglerequired for thebutterfly to get throughthe tiny opening, werenature’s way of forcingfluid from the body ofthe butterfly into itswings, so that it wouldbe ready for flight onceit achieved its freedomfrom the cocoon.

Sometimes,

strugglesare exactly what weneed in our life.

If we were allowed togo through our lifewithout any obstacles,it would cripple us.We would not be asstrong as we couldhave been. Never beable to fly.
