now, live

In response to Butterfly's plight, one of my dear readers has sent in this quote from Kahlil Gibran :

"Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility.
The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies
is more admirable than the mole that lives in the dark tunnel."

Plus a comic strip from one of my favourite characters, Calvin & Hobbes :



And to cap it off, the following para, for good measure :

Don't go live in dark and murky holes, ya. Or get yourself caught in a jar. Learn to trust, and yet trust not in faith itself; rather, trust in Him. You can rest assured that the trust you place in Him will never be found unreasonable. Now, live.
