It was a beautiful spring day. The Earth was finally awakening from her winter sleep. New life was everywhere. The sky was clear and blue. The air smelled sweet. The sun was kissing the world with its warmth.
I was driving to pick my so n up from the sheltered workshop. On my drive I saw the flowers opening in people's yards. The fields were full of yellow dandelions（蒲公英） with some already turning into little white balls of seeds. The trees were starting to awaken too. The flowers on them were white, purple, and pink. The songs of the birds were in the air as well. I was feeling the love from the creation all around me. I longed to be a part of it and share my love as well.
I pulled into the driveway of the sheltered workshop and parked my car. As I got out, I saw a lost little caterpillar（毛虫） crawling the wrong way towards the sidewalk. He was just about to go under my tire（轮胎） when I reached down and picked him up. I held him gently in my hand and walked over to the grassy hillside on the other side of the parking lot. I sat him down and said, "You will never become a butterfly if you get run over, my friend. Please stay in the grass." Then I walked off with a smile on my face and a happiness filling my heart.
A friend once wrote me and asked what he could do to make a difference in this world. I wrote him back and said, "Everything!" Everything we do makes a difference in this world. Everything we do can help all the creation in the world. Every act of kindness, every shared smile, every moment of love makes a difference. Even saving a single butterfly is priceless.
