“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling,
”What if you fly?”
― Erin Hanson
"In many ways, the butterfly serves as a metaphor for the soul's spiritual journey. Its metamorphosis represents our own spiritual transformation. We start out as a simple being and learn to function in the world, much like the caterpillar. We crawl along through life in our day-to-day activities, but search for deeper meaning.
Eventually we go on that inner journey to get in touch with our inner selves, much like wrapping our selves in a cocoon. We meditate, pray, read and study spiritual truths. We turn our focus inwards. At some point, we are ready to emerge and share our true essence with the world. Much like the butterfly, WE SPREAD OUR WINGS AND FLY!"
"Butterflies teach us to enjoy the present moment and make the most of our existence here on earth! They also remind us that death is just another transformation - we will just spread our wings and fly in another dimension"
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” - Aristotle
