Transformations

Hi Darlene,
I've been meaning to say for some time now that I like your new avatar. I think I know why you chose a beautiful butterfly, but what it reminds me of is the famous dream of Chuang Tzu (369-286 B.C.E.), which he retold thus...
"Once upon a time, I, Chuang Tzu, dreamt that I was a butterfly, flitting around and enjoying myself. I had no idea I was Chuang Tzu. Then suddenly I woke up and was Chuang Tzu again. But I could not tell, had I been Chuang Tzu dreaming I was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming I was now Chuang Tzu? However, there must be some sort of difference between Chuang Tzu and a butterfly! We call this the transformation of things."
All I can say is that you seem well on your way to your own transformation.
Good Luck, and take care of yourself,
Caroline.
