here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method

information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
Does an Acorn dictate when it fall from a tree? Does a Catepillar crawl away from its cocoon? No, they follow obediently natures timely plea; And dance and bow To a Creators tune. Just as surely as the Sun rises after the Moon, and the rivers flow into the Sea, so the seasons lead the way to Summer, Autumn, Winter Spring.
When is it time to live or die? Is it time to seek the tomb? When is it time for a baby to cry? Should it leave the warm and tender womb?
Some questions are best left like the reasoning of our God. And who is He, along life's path? I ponder what, why, who, when it's all an enigma and then...
I know deep down inside I too must follow nature's tune the pull is so emense. I cannot deny, defy and - whence, I ask, does it come and go and why?
When the time comes it comes from somewhere so discreet, so Holy and unique. If I could tell the reasons why I must decide the risks I take. If I could tell the reasons why - you'd see they make me cry. So, I'll seek inside, like the Acorn and do as the Catepillar does, because I might just miss the chance to be that beautiful Butterfly.
Written by me, 23 September 1994
All my life I have made decisions, and sometimes I could not tell why I made them; it was almost as though nature dictated them and my Creator was in control making them for me. And it was all to get me to this time and place.
The time and place to CHANGE ME, from the Caterpillar to the Butterfly, metamorphosis at its perfection, me changing through recovery and this is what is happening now...even though I wrote this almost 14 years ago, it seems that my season of metamorphosis is truly beginning here and now just as I have seen, and continue to see, others changing before my very eyes within this family.

Metamorphisis! Interesting--I was just learning about transforming my life about metamorphisis. I really believe God is changing me from a caterpillar to a butterfly! I like that song Butterfly by Mariah Carey--it is so pretty! Anyway, keep coming back!
