One day a caterpillar came upon a painted stick that had been stuck in the ground. It was bright and colorful and thereby seduced him to climb it.

When he reached its top, he stretched out in all directions to find a juicy twig for the eating, but what he had climbed was only a decoration.

He had wasted his time and effort. So he turned and climbed down. And upon reaching the ground, traveled for a short distance and came upon another painted stick that had been stuck in the ground.

It was even brighter and more colorful than the first stick, so he began to climb. When he reached its top he once again stretched out in all directions to find a juicy twig to munch on, but what he had climbed was only a decoration. He had wasted his time and effort.

And so he turned and climbed down once again, and upon reaching the ground traveled for a short distance and came upon another painted stick that had been stuck in the ground. And so it was that all day long he kept finding more painted sticks and climbing to the top of them and climbing back down. He never seemed to learn. And when the day was over he was still hungry. Very, very hungry, indeed.

There are many painted sticks in life, are there not? Painted sticks called wealth, power, success, pleasure.

And Isaiah looking at life that can indeed be a lot of colored sticks wrote, “It shall even be as when a hungry man dreameth, and behold he eateth; but he awaketh and his soul is empty.”
