metaphor

sometimes a metaphor is the best way to help someone.

When my cousin was six years old,one of her friends died,and she come back home in tears.

" Lang,"I said,"I know how you feel.But that's because you're still a caterpillar."This broke her pattern. I then explained how,when a caterpillar encases itslef in its cocoon, it looks as if it is dying."But what's really happening?"I asked Lang.

"It's turning into a butterfly,"she said.
"That's right," I said."It's the beginningof a whole new life.You dont see your friendbecause she's really just flying above you,more beautiful and powerful than ever before.Sometimes we just have to trust that God knows when it's time for us to become butterflies.."
