Nadi, Fiji
S.R. Hoffler
As we continue to look at the development of the butterfly, allow us to focus on the caterpillar and its exploration for what we will call "nutrients." As I spent time with old friends this weekend I started reflecting on my own metamorphosis and development. I have always been a reflective person, prone to spending time alone and thinking about the world around me. The picture above was taken at the bow of a ship in Nadi, Fiji on my own personal journey. In the summer of 2007, I took a trip around the world alone. I did meet friends along the way, and did reconnect with old friends. But, essentially the journey was alone. I tell this story because the trip was my nutrient gathering caterpillar experience. I learned so much about myself as I travelled around the world. I learned that my experience is not the only experience and my experience is not the most important experience, it is an experience in parallelism. Many people moving along their own path, but travelling all the same. We all must gather information in life but we must respect the journey of others.

In the next few post I will explore my metamorphic journey and how our journeys are tied to the journey of others.
