What sort of incredible intelligence could design the transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly???
I started to write this article about the amazing story of imaginal cells .....and their role in the phoenixing of the caterpillar into a butterfly but somehow I felt myself being stopped short .....somehow the sheer fact of what is possible in nature moved me more than the science of it's process.
Change is such an intrinsic part of living and yet I know that there is a part of me ( perhaps in all of us?) that thinks things will stay more or less stay the same.
To quote a wise man of the 20th century, Leo Armin, "we live to change and change in order to continue to live"
And when I look at the butterfly, it reminds me that I probably cannot even begin to imagine what changes lie ahead .... but it encourages me to make space for the unthought,the unknown and the unimaginable ...and to welcome the idea of it.
