Saturday mornings are relatively laidback for me. I spend lot of time reading things that really keep me relaxed. Today, I got this email from a dear friend of mine with an attachment--"Tales for Change" by Margaret Parkin. And, as soon as I read this really short tale on "complexities of Change" (author narrates this story originally in another book called, "Tales for Coaching"), I decided to immortalize it by posting it on this blog. Here goes the tale and commentary, verbatim, by the author:
...tale of two caterpillars who, whilst sitting together on a cabbage leaf, suddenly hear a swishing noise, and look up to see a beautiful butterfly flying overhead. The first caterpillar looks at the other, shakes his head and says, 'You'll never get me up in one of those things.
Author, further comments:
This tale is a powerful tool for illustrating the complexities of change--the resistance to the idea of transition, the ability to see oneself in another dimension and the inevitability of change are all contained within the metaphor.
