In Diversity,

Not Adversity!

As is shown here below and in the following pages, there is so much  rich wonderful diversity in our world; not only in humanity  but expressing itself in other forms of life as well.

What you see above and below represents snapshots of the diverse bounty of life which is even now evolving on this speck of dust we call planet Earth. 

The metamorphosis of a monarch butterfly is a natural metaphor  for the transformation of the human spirit. As the larvae is instinctively led to stop eating and find a suitable place in which to pupate and thus be transformed from a being of the ground to a being of the air; so must we, as a collective humanity, follow the the God-given guidance within our true selves and be transformed. Our being longs to be a "butterfly" of the air, to take in the diverse beauty of the flowergarden, to drink deeply from the necter of the bread of life.

Our destiny is to be the butterfly. Life is but a crucible or "chrysalis" of change. Let us explore the metamorphosis waiting to happen within our in-most being and become filled with the radiance of joy, love and fellowship for all creation. Indeed it is time for a new way of thinking.
