When Butterflies Speak

The tiny caterpillar innocently emerges and faces overwhelmingchallenges - all the while carrying the gift: the potential ofsublime beauty. In the heat of summer many caterpillars are stungby wasps deeply wounded and scarred. In spite of this they dontgive up. I was amazed by the magnificent willpower of these fragilecreatures. It seems to me that the caterpillar never questions itsability to become a butterfly. Breaking free from the chrysalisleaving their wounds and scarring behind the butterflies emerge.Some have wings too small to fly some fly with broken wingsothers have twisted and damaged bodies with perfect wings. All arebeautiful. Perfect in their own way. Peaceful joyful free.Butterflies live in the moment - joyfully capturing hearts as theysimply live. The complexity of their transformation isastounding. Nature is a wonderful teacher.
