We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
Maya Angelou

 

 

I can't remember who said it exactly but I had once heard life being described as the "beautiful struggle."   Hardship, struggle and challenge bring change and if accepted and learned from,  can bring beauty and strength. 

Metamorphosis is a painful process...maybe it is meant to be. Or is it just that we interpret it as painful?  

Do you think  that the butterfly would describe its own process of change as "suffering", if it could, or would she simply say, "I am in transition"? 

Do we just assume, expect and perceive suffering in our limited focused minds when we look upon such drastic change?

Hmm! Something to think about.

All is well in my world.
