Caterpillars bound
From cacoons came butterflies
swaying gracefully.

  1. I love those photos. For some reason they gave me a feeling that reminded me of a moment in childhood looking at something similar. I tried to grasp exactly what the memory was but it didn’t come to me. It was a pleasant sensation nonetheless.

    I’m really curious about what they feel like in metamorphosis. I learned recently that the caterpillars turn almost completely amorphous and gelatinous and then reassemble themselves. Does it hurt? Do they understand what is happening when it’s going on? Then I think about humans. We often have similar big changes. We have big changes when we’re teenagers, and sometimes later in life also. While our bodies might not lose their shape, our minds might not feel put together as it should be during those transitions. But then we reform into something new and better. Here’s hoping that, metaphorically speaking, this is what 2020 and the time just afterward is for us all. I’m ready for our world to turn in to a beautiful butterfly.

  2. I am as amazed as an adult as I was when I first learned of this as a child. I enjoyed Todd’s further discussion above. Sometimes I feel rather like an amorphous shape myself as I am changing.
