Today as I returned to my office from lunch I witnessed my 4 year old son's Pre-K class outside in the front yard of the church as they were releasing the class' recently hatched butterflies out into the big world. And the irony of the moment struck me.
My son is only days away from his Pre-K graduation. Kindergarten begins in mere months. And he will then be out in the big world. Big school. Big kids. Big changes ahead.
But isn't that the way it should be? Buffered in a cocoon for awhile. Some time spent in the safety netting to develop. And then, freedom. Released out into the big world. Because it's time. Because there are lots of great things to experience outside the cocoon, outside the net.
And just like the butterflies today who excitedly fluttered off in the beautiful blue sky, exciting change is coming for my son. Out into the big world.
