Jesse's Silkworm Story

When Jesse was a little girl of six she kept silkworms. Once she noticed one struggling hard to get through a smallhole in the cocoon. Jesse became very worried about the small creature's capacity to emerge, so she took a pair of scissors and cut open the cocoon. Then to her horror, she noticed that the moth was deformed when it emerged. It had a swollen stomach and twisted wings - very different to the other moths, and unable to fly.

She carried this picture of the moth's struggle into her adult life until one day when she watched a program on moths and butterflies on television. Jesse, now in her 60s, discovered that all moths need to push hard and struggle when emerging from their cocoons to enable the blood from their bellies to pump into their wings and give them the strength to fly.

Jesse finally had the insights that nature had given her :

"Our struggles and efforts 'when things get tough' strengthen us and support our growth and development into beautiful perfection" and

"If we 'rescue' others when they are facing tough situations we intercept their development and growth"

The time is always right to do what is right. - Martin Luther King Jr.
