There are no limits to where a butterfly can go or what it can achieve. In its caterpillar-like state of pattern, it is limited and predictable. However, upon its transformation, only the butterfly can speak to its journey and knows the struggle, the strength, resilience, and patience it takes to emerge from its resting place, new and improved, better and stronger, more prepared to fly in its potential, no longer crawling in its pattern. The butterfly knows the cocoon is a guiding post, not its final destination.
This cocoon is where the butterfly's life goes from ordinary to extraordinary. She would emerge unique, one of a kind. Relentless in her commitment and fortitude to break free from the protective confinements of her cocoon, she emerges boldly spreading her big, beautiful wings without hesitation. Not for the world's pleasure, but for the realization that without literally opening herself to receive, there is no way she could fly. She moves about at her own pace and with a determination only she knows.
