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:

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 ...

TREES

Green, vivid, beautiful, and cooling freshness. That is a tree! It provides us with oxygen, it brightens up places with a colourful charm.  A tree plays different roles in different seasons. During autumn , it lets down leaves of all colours for people to admire while they flow around. In spring , it grows a new family of leaves and flowers for everyone to admire and feel vivid. In summer , the fruits are mature, fleshy and sumptuous enough for us to relish on. During winter , the trees fold inside to protect themselves from the icy cold and even the frigid snow. And this process continues smoothly.  Trees need water, sunlight and carbon dioxide, which in some way, makes them related to us. Rather than related I should say interdependent as we need oxygen whereas they need the carbon dioxide. Hence we co-live! A very realistic picture is that when a child starts drawing, he/she generally starts by drawing a blessing of nature—a flower; then gradually...

Them.

  I've met this person, a pure soul. They make me happy, in a way that I dont even understand myself. They radiate brightness and they're my little yellow lady When it comes to them, I truly run out of words because even words cannot start to describe how amazing they are. When I sit down and try to pen down all the emotions I feel for them, to try and make it poetry, I discover that I cannot,  because neither my mind nor my soul will let me use something as mere as words to describe them. Words are very powerful, but they crumble in face of them. They are truly happiness They make my heart flutter in joy and make my stomach drop dead They are romantic and sweet They write poetry in my name and I can't find anything cuter Their smile is the shiniest thing in the world Their eyes are ones I could stare at forever and fall into its depths even if it meant no return Their face of calmness as they lay on my lap and i stroke their hair Their hugs are those that make...
