Protection

"Protection has lived in many kinds of houses. Always the walls are

decorated with rugs and blankets from around the world. She has studied

ancient architecture and the habits of butterflies and spiders. When the caterpillar

is dying and the new butterfly is yet to be born, it constructs a chrysalis.

We also have this need. However, many of us are too proud

or have forgotten how to go inside. Protection has learned from the butterflies

how to make a chrysalis for the changing human heart."
