Butterflies always fascinated me by their sheer beauty, elegance and magnificence.
Noiseless and weightless, yet arresting and disarming at the same time: true creatures of creation and they undergo a process of transformation that seems utterly unfathomable and inconceivable, and when they emerge they live fully and freely but for such shortness of time.
There is a deep metamorphosis at work for humanity in this era that seems to mimic the process by which a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.
From within the cocoon of darkness we, like it, shall emerge anew and through the hero’s journey or dark night of the soul do we strengthen our wings such that they do shatter and break free the walls that confine.
In so doing we become the empowerment agents of change and the chief architects of our life that we may fly, fly away in the fullness and richness of all our colours of creative expression to blossom in our brilliance.
A simple, humble butterfly can make one’s day and that butterfly can lead a revolution the likes of which we simply do not know. You, we, me are such butterflies.
And so, too, like the butterfly effect, there is truth to the catalytic power of small things to yield and mobilise massive change and within each of us there is always an awareness growing no matter how still or simple things appear on the surface.
May you find your wings to fly and take to flight in your own way.
