Lesson from a Butterfly



 
From the early stage of being an ugly caterpillar despised by everyone to the stage where it transforms into this glorious insect loved by the entire creation. 

Have you ever seen a cat chasing a butterfly?? Well a sight to look for.
 
Its life commences abandoned on a leaf to take care of itself. That doesn’t mean that it gives up easily!

Never receiving the feeling of a parent’s care, the compassionate love of a mother, the fun among siblings, the naughtiness of friends…it moves on to independently hunting for food and wandering, surrounded by loneliness, in its own sweet and slow pace.Barely surviving, one would say.

It is desperately searching for something or someone(in their own world) to keep it busy.

Alas!
One day, fed up with the cruelty of life or as Mother Nature would want it to be, it silently wraps itself in a cocoon, determined to fall into an eternal slumber. We can only wonder if actually a caterpillar does understand that it is another part of its life.

The same question could be related to a birth of baby? Having spent, on a regular note, 9 months in the womb of the mother, does it ask itself whether the birth is actually the end or does it know that it is a new beginning?

Hmmmm….i believe no one has this answer yet. Another beautiful unexplained mystery of life.

It is at this time that God decided to bless the caterpillar, so it can roam outside and discover the beauty of the earth, on land and in the air.

After the incubation period, God wakes up the caterpillar. Almost dead by the heat, he crawls out of his cocoon. Now, instead of crawling and gliding on the tree, it instinctively unfurls its wings, though a bit taken aback.

And suddenly it has forgotten all the anger it had towards its lonesome previous life.

It moves on to the next step in life—to discover all of God’s creations by fluttering around and allowing others to admire its own beauty.

Lesson of life:

Blooms of Heaven

Flowers are synonymous of happy lives. Have you ever noticed, what ladies in happy couples are mostly offered. Indeed! Flowers. Why? Simple, it brings happiness. The joy of having nature’s beauties in your hand is enough to leave you grinning from one ear to another. Their scents, the vivid colours, shape, features, all of these, combine to define a flower. Flowers are of various colours like white, purple, blue, yellow, and then, there are absolute unique ones too. Look at what all flowers have inspired us to. The obvious one is Spring’s latest fashion mode. Dresses, shirts, shorts, handbags, belts, hairband, cutlery, drapes, etc. Floral impact leaves no item untouched. Life without flowers would be like life without oxygen. That statement is basically true, since, plants do produce oxygen! I wonder if it has been proven or not, flowers might be present everywhere, even in the aridest desert, we find a little bloom on the biggest giant spine, the cactus. Flowers ...

Generosity

“Give more than you wish to, and you shall receive double in return”.  “The hand that gives is better than the hand that asks” . Don’t we often hear our elders preaching us such good habits since our toddlerhood? This is the virtue of generosity! Generosity is a feature that has been granted to both humans as well as animals. It reflects a kind heart. Some people might be generous from a tender age, while some might not have developed that feeling. But this a feeling that needs to be encouraged in children right at a tender age. Initially, specially, as a child, we are forced to give something and that does not make us happy. If you ask children kindly, they would be more than willing to give to you and that is such a cute act.     However the request made has got to be reasonable of course! No one has ever become poor by being generous. Instead, our value increases immensely! People respect and appreciate us.  A simpl...

Chirpy Chirpy Cheeps

Birds, are they immaterial to us? Or do they bring significance to our lives? Birds, an important factor in everyone's life, can make even the grumpiest person on earth twitch a smile. They have a distinctive feature that makes them unique compared to any other species. What female hawks can do to keep their children protected is enormous, a bit what our own mothers would do for us...hmmm The amazingly-colored birds brighten up places. No wonder, the very thought of Amazon forest displays an array of colourful fowls to our imagination. Hearing their cheerful chirps make time peaceful, oh! but then, we also have the croaked-voice crow. Their adorable body structures, their wonderful techniques of making people happy are astounding. Some even say that they are used as therapy for young children who have speech problems. What a blessing God sent us! Singing and chirping have always been the characteristics of birds. This is what defines them and distinguish them ...
