I missed this one but glad I caught it today. It's wonderful and your closing line:
This sparrow of my shortcomings ... that's almost a quotable.

Nice word images. "The sparrow becomes the hawk when it consumes knowledge."

I don't see much diff between the butterfly and the sparrow except through the vortex of Time. In that sense, they are the same experience
for me. Does not the sparrow also come to me to teach me how to fly? But wouldn't I be different through my own experince--and this necessity of being an adolescent before an adult. It's just two things appearing in one aspect within the measure of time.
