B – Boxcars and Butterflies

Boxcar – Living in a town that is divided by a set of active railroad tracks I often get a chance to see many boxcars. I sit and wonder at times what exactly is inside those cars. As useful and versatile a boxcar is, it goes nowhere under its own power, carrying the load but leaving the engine to give it direction. There are days that I feel as if I am the one carrying the load while someone else is pulling me in a direction.

Butterflies -The change from caterpillar though to the emergence as a butterfly is the greatest change in the animal world. It symbolizes significant change in the course of one’s life, personality or way of thinking. I have heard it said that a specific point in the change from a caterpillar to a butterfly the insect structure is totally broken down and is more of a liquid than a solid, a total restructuring of the parts and pieces down to the molecular level. I myself have gone through a significant change in my life, to become the woman I am today.
