BUTTERFLYING

Crabbing gets there sideways,
Not looking where you’re going,
Scuttling through a crowded life.

Spidering takes too long—
All those webs to weave,
To trap others in your world,
Of which you are the centre.

Centipeding has too many feet
On the ground,
Too many shoes to clean,
And too many toes to be trodden on.

But butterflying sets the spirit free,
Unfurls the wings
Held tight by binding shell of chrysalis.
Butterflying is faith let loose
With colour
And freedom in its wings.

Paul Booth






The glory of God
is the human being
fully alive


(St. Ireneus)
