Chrysalis – Potential

Warriors Are Warmed by Inner Fire – Warriors don’t listen to the limitations others have set on them. Who would believe that dried up chrysalis is going to turn into a magnificent butterfly? Yet it will. You have the butterfly within you. When you concentrate, you can feel its wings stretching and expanding.

Warriors Are Quick-Change Artists – Warriors might become a butterfly or a snowflake or an orchid or some new form that hasn’t been created yet. Warriors are avatars. We keep ourselves in peak readiness to accept the universal challenge. We realize life is a dance, we can adapt to its steps and offer steps all our own.

Warriors Protect Their Potential – Others will constantly try to constrain and define you and herd you into their enclosure. Don’t go. What you will become is not up to them, it is not even up to those who mentor and love you. It is up to you.

Warriors Protect The World’s Potential – The young, the aged, the helpless, the teacher, the crossing guard, the medic, the harvester – these are people who shepherd the universe Into its positive becoming. They are occupied with vital work and can’t protect themselves or those they assist. Life’s warriors will protect them. The forces of destruction are all around us, the universe can’t afford to waste a scrap of its positive potential.
