And the thing about that, I didn't know when I made the analogy initially.

Because I never really studied for my biology test in school.

I just really didn't think about it.

I just would take and memorize it and regurgitate it because I had no respect for biology.

I was interested in chemistry and physics and math, whatever. That's the side of the point.

The thing I didn't realize is that when that caterpillar goes in to that little chrysalis

deal, it gets completely taken apart to these molecules.

It's like a caterpillar soup.

And then there are these structures that apparently are imaginal disks. to these molecules. It's like a caterpillar soup.

And then there are these structures that apparently are imaginal disks that kind of give information back,

and then you get this reassembly of particles and such

that ultimately come as that, you know, butterfly.

So the process is really unpleasant, you know. I mean, if you think about it,

getting disassembled completely, and then you have to put pieces back together. And now that I'd say

that I'm, in our family, is kind of emerging out of this period of difficulty. What I can't think of the gentleman who gave the talks on it,

I'll make a post about it again.

But there was a person that wrote about life is in the transitions and life quakes.

These things you come around, most people have five or so of them in a lifetime,

and there are things that completely, you know, mess up something.

You know, it's more than generally like a broken arm,

which is a small kind of upset that you have to work around.

It's usually something or a series of events that really disrupt your life
