(an old dream brought back to remembrance)
In the heat of the day ...a sweltering ....as I walked to classes ...I found myself in an alley ...and the heat of the day was so fierce ...that the black top of the alley was soft and sticky ...
And Behold in the middle of the hot ...sweltering black alley was a most beautifull caterpillar ...seemingly stuck ...unto death... in the blackness of the tar ...as he had tryed to cross the blackness himself ...and I saw him and he bent his head upward towards me as I looked closer at him ...and I reached down my hand to help him ...Yet he somewhat hesitated (I supposed he was frightened of me ) ...nevertheless after feeling my hand ...he came in ...and crawled into the palm of my hand ...
So it was that I carried the caterpillar ...across the hot and deadly blackness ...to a place of rest ...to a cool and comfortable place ...in the green grass on the other side ...in the shade of mighty trees ...and passed the hedge for his protection ...
And as I continued my walk ...I was given thought ...how we as peoples are like unto the caterpillar ...how that (God) and Yeshua (Jesus) ...see us ...beautifull ...yet stuck in the blackness of the world ...even unto death ...and that only by his hand ...might we survive ...that we might be comforted for a time ...so that we can become ...till we become ...a beautifull butterfly
Then unknown to me ...a minister of a local congregation ...had heard of this vision and came to me and asked if he could use it in a sermon ...and I was astounded ...and said yes ...nevertheless ...even then I told him not to change the vision ...but to tell it plainly ...and he said he would do just that and for a proving up ...he invited me to hear it for myself ...
Nevertheless the holy ghost stood in the way and I was not able to hear the minister speak ...yet he came rushing into the student center ...one day all excited and told me of the time and the happenings at the sermon of the butterfly ...seems that a very real and beautifull butterfly came in through the window and flew around the congregation ...at the time of the sermon ...as this minister witnessed this to me ...
