From the day we are born we recieve a certificate.
As years wear on we aquire more each representing an achievement or major change in our lives, from primary school to higher education and trades all bearing testement of our achievement through a certificate. Marriage and property ownership, although a contract........is still a certificate.
It is a part of our society........ these certificates tell us where we belong.
So I was driving my tranker down the road the other day....just watching the road and the white butterflies that were collecting on my windscreen, my thoughts turned to these amazing insects. From larvae to grub constantly feeding. Finally building a cocoon where it is now safe and protected. About all that its missing is some certificates to record its journey.
But instead of staying safe in its cocoon, it claws its way out to be transformed into a beautiful butterfly........Like those grey nomads..... safe in their cocoon........ yet like the butterfly deciding to transform and fly free.
To sell, to discard their lifes posessions, to throw away their certificates of life.............
It is almost grounds for a certificate..dont you think.
