The Butterfly Effect

         The mass of pain, tribulation, frustration, despair and weakness that had surrounded me grew thicker despite all of my beneficial intentions. All the physical power that I possessed and had so often relied on now lay dormant. Light had long given way to darkness and the air was extremely thin, as though I stood on the highest mountain peak. The very notion of movement was impossibility at best. Trepidation soaked its way into my bones. Though there were countless souls around me that were ensnared in their own balls of confusion, I felt locked in solitude. My inspiration and will to live began to fade like the setting sun. All that once brought me joy was gone!     When I found myself at the equivalent of absolute zero, a tiny beam of light broke its way through the walls of my new found tomb. This set into motion a sort of metamorphosis. Suddenly my spirit was regenerated and my soul started to feed upon the tribulation and despair. In a desert of frustration there was suddenly an oasis of cool calm. I inhaled the pain, exhaled joy and my weakness transformed itself into might and power. Inspiration sprung from every molecule of the air I breathed. I was alive with life! I realized that this ball of confusion was actually my cocoon. The beam of light had been sent from heaven to activate the necessary change.     I exploded from my cocoon with the force of limitless potential. My metamorphosis was complete. I was a bold, brilliant, new species. The strength of my wings was untested, yet somehow I knew that I could fly to heights which would defy the laws of physics!
