Madame Butterfly
Butterflies represent all positive characteristics of nature; they symbolize beauty, grace, and rebirth. Their life cycle truly epitomizes transformation.
The metamorphosis of the butterfly begins with an egg, from which a caterpillar hatches. This larval stage is the main feeding stage, where it eats almost constantly, growing at an astonishing rate. Reaching the ‘right size’ it finds a suitable place to attach itself and begins its pupa stage. Within the hard shell, or chrysalis, it dwells and emerges as a beautiful butterfly.
Such a transformation is awesome, unfolding exactly as nature intends, without any conscious effort. This requires either total surrender or nothing at all.
