I don't know why, I just am. I'd love to tell you the story we have once heard. <BR/><BR/><I>A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.<BR/>One day a small opening appeared.<BR/>He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours<BR/>as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.<BR/>Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.<BR/><BR/>So the man decided to help the butterfly.<BR/>He took a pair of scissors and<BR/>snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.<BR/>The butterfly emerged easily but<BR/>it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.<BR/><BR/>The man continued to watch it,<BR/>expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge<BR/>and expand enough to support the body,<BR/>Neither happened!<BR/>In fact the butterfly spent the rest of its life<BR/>crawling around.<BR/>It was never able to fly.<BR/><BR/>What the man in his kindness<BR/>and haste did not understand:<BR/>The restricting cocoon and the struggle<BR/>required by the butterfly to get through the opening<BR/>was a way of forcing the fluid from the body<BR/>into the wings so that it would be ready<BR/>for flight once that was achieved.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes struggles are exactly<BR/>what we need in our lives.<BR/>Going through life with no obstacles would cripple us.<BR/>We will not be as strong as we could have been<BR/>and we would never fly.</I><BR/><BR/>If you'd like to discuss the possible interpretations, there is a part of me that would be immensely happy to discuss it with you.<BR/><BR/>SamoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764197356088627779.post-36373863151056070632009-01-09T21:17:00.000-05:002009-01-09T21:17:00.000-05:00Sam,I don't know the butterfly story.

If their treatment didn't work, it just means the treatment failed, not you, not them, it's just a matter of finding the right approach. It doesn't mean all hope is lost, all hope is never lost, just your sight of it is blinkered when you are trapped in a hole. <BR/><BR/>When you are Anorexic your faith in everything is shredded, yourself especially. I know you can do this, because you are strong enough to recover. Your strength comes across so loudly in your words, you just need a jump start. Thinking of you.<BR/><BR/>Lola xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764197356088627779.post-17986168164337358862009-01-09T04:28:00.000-05:002009-01-09T04:28:00.000-05:00Listening.

Other parts of me are glad he didn't succeed because there is a part of me who equals "getting helped" (in any form whatsoever) with "getting crippled" similarly to a butterfly story I once heard.
