We all need
some measure of comfort,
the safety of a cocoon,
But I remind myself
that change is good,
that I cannot spend
my whole life
being a caterpillar,
that courage
wears butterfly wings
and the sky has never looked
more inviting.

Great job. I really like it. Putting on our wings and taking another chance could be the very best thing for us.
