One day, while watching over his creations, the Creator felt as if something was missing. The Creator realized what it was. He quickly gathered in the light from the sun, some songs from the birds, and the colors of falling leaves. He mixed it all with the sound of children’s laughter. He placed this all in a bowl in a meadow where children could find it.

When some curious children found and uncovered the bowl, millions of butterflies burst out of captivity, circling the children. They played with the butterflies until late that night. The following morning was filled with disappointment for the children could not find the butterflies.

The Creator watched the confused expressions the children wore, and decided to teach them an interesting lesson. That evening, the Creator returned to the meadow before the children were about to head on home. As you can guess the children did not hesitate to ask what had happened to the butterflies.

Guiding the children towards the nearest tree, he showed them caterpillars making cocoons. He explained that in order to be beautiful, admired, and respected, the caterpillars have to undergo a transformation.

The Creator first advised the children to give the butterflies blue, indigo, and violet stones to help them transform.

The next day, the children were again disappointed. They went to the tree but found empty cocoons. One child happened to look up. There in the tree were the butterflies just waiting for them.

This time when the children went home, the butterflies followed them, and thus the tribe became the Butterfly Clan, the clan of the Air and the joy of children.

So, if you seek a metamorphosis in your life, and want to gain your beautiful wings, join the Butterfly Clan. It will not only help when striving to better your physical being, but will transform you into a new spiritual one as well.
