The Timely Butterfly

(February 8, 1999)

It's interesting to see someone take a little idea and make it grow into something that benefits many people.

Could it be that an idea hangs in front of us like a worm in a chrysalis that is able to emerge as a beautiful butterfly?

When we reach for the stars, we should remember that we are rooted in little things. The basis for success that lasts is the knowledge that slow and careful construction cannot be toppled by fickle tastes. So much is made to be temporary - fast moving fads - and people jump aboard to ride them for the duration. In the process, the butterfly is crushed before it ever develops, and the pupa "idea" must begin all over again.
