A lovely butterfly fluttered on a blossom and I watched it in amazement..it’s lovely colour and pattern so well designed by God.But was it so lovely from the time it was conceived? NO....

The butterfly went through a series of transformations called metamorphosis .It was well protected as an egg laid underneath leaves,hatched into a voracious caterpillar feeding on the leaves,shed its skin many times as a larva ,weaved dreams as a chrysalis where a hardened shell protects it to do the final transformation.It is here that it grows it’s colourful wings and nectar sipping proboscis and finally emerges out as a lovely butterfly!

We too pass through so many phases in our life.We are protected as children,we pass through phases of growth like the caterpillar,leave behind some phases like the skin shedding larvae and dream all our dreams in the Chrysalis stage where we are given time to evolve!

It is here that we need to grow wings of humanity,aim to fly high and ultimately emerge out of our chrysalis as good humans .Perhaps,God anxiously waits to see each one of us emerge out as one of his lovely creations!.The whole process of metamorphosis looks complicated but the end result is what is important….the final emergence and exit from the world as a good human…. one who has completed each phase successfully in the metamorphosis of life!
