Thanks Glenn. Ican use your anaology. This is what is going on in me at the
moment. I am "sorting" between which is authentic me and what needs to be let go
of. ie what is caterpiller and what is butterfly. so when a thought comes up I
am conscoiusly deciding if it is authentic me or old false me or as i like from
your analogy is it caterpillar or butterfly. This butterfly desparately wanbts
to fly and am stuggling out of my crysailis and filling up my wings with my own
life blood.

is about letting Creator take the time to make us our most perfect self in
transformation.
