Butterfly Wisdom

"The butterfly counts not months, but moments and has time enough." ~Author Unknown

   

What is it that pushes this transformation from clumsy crawl to smooth flight? Seemingly appearing weary from the burden of many feet, this creature oh so slow, wraps itself in patience, knowing or unknowing I cannot tell, hoping for that moment. Not just any moment, but one that will change it's destiny. Perhaps the how is unknown, but the why, instinctive or planned, is because there must be more. Anything must be better than this monotonous struggle and with patience it spins with hopes of new. In time, the awaited moment is birthed and brings its song. Flight feels so free and light, as clumsy is shed for graceful and smooth. It is through much wait that great arrives and through such unpleasantness a beauty is born. Birthed by pain, these fragile wings gain strength to soar and share its beauty to the world. ~j.lauber
