Found a little baby catterpillar on my greens today.
What should I do with it?
Should i kill it?
Should i drown it?
Should i keep it in a jar for Renee?
Hmmm...just drown it, I thought.
I started running the water n while waiting for the container to fill up, I watched the little caterpillar.
It crawled up and down the leaf, trying to find a way out. And then i thought, what am I doing? It's just a baby. If I gave it a chance to live, one day, it will turn into a beautiful butterfly.
Afterall, God gave it life. Who was I to take that away?
And so, i turned off the tap, took the leaf with the caterpillar on it and brought it out to my garden.
Here you go, I told the little baby caterpillar as I watched it crawl from the leaf onto the leaf of my bamboo plant. Go live, survive and come back and visit me one day when you've all grown up.
I stumbled upon your blog while searching for a baked dory recipe. I found yours and that is what we are having for dinner tonight. :)
ReplyDeleteYour posts on parenting your little girl brings back memories of my oldest child's first years. I was also very hands-on with her, and I still am upto now with all my kids, but I have also learned how to let go of so many things.
Anyway, just wanted to say, I enjoyed reading your blog!:)
Hi Phenomenal Woman, thanks for your comment! Hope your dinner came out yummy! Hahaha...do pls come back more often to read, although, I must admit, I hardly find time to blog much these days. Take care!
