Caterpillar … yes! That slimy green wriggling kin of the
arthropod family caught my eye as we played in the puddle. Insects … they were the
last species in the world with whom I was comfortable with. But this weird
green creature made me very curious. As a small kid I watched it crawl slowly
on the leaves munching the same. It cAfter a few days I found that shiny bulb
hanging from the leaves of our garden tree. I asked my aunt “ What’s this and
where did it come from ?”. She explained me but all I understood was its called
a caterpillar. It spins that bulb and sulks into it for some time and soon it
emerges as a butterfly.
As a 3 yrs old girl whose word was filled with neverland,oz and fairies. This made an huge impact in my mind ..but this was unknown to me until my teenage . never did I relalise the impact of this biography .
My biology classes made me feel happy when I read about butterfly’s life cycle. But it has a deep psychological connection with me and I realized this only in my teenage. One fine day my friend found this shiny cocoon in our school grounds, being a science freak he showed it to me and boasted about his plans to keep it under observation. From then on I got the daily report from him about the cocoon. And one fine day I missed school. When I called he told me how beautiful it was to see the butterfly come out of the cocoon. When I tried to visualize the whole scenario. It struck me the transition .. the quest for an identity , The faith , the perseverance.
First stands the insignificant non attractive caterpillar ignored
by the world… it keeps on munching around the leaves which is nothing but the
duty …
Stage two : the cocoon. This is my favourite part, the caterpillar spins a cocoon by itself ..neglecting all the worldly ties it sulks in .. this reminds me of the gloomy days we face ..ignored and isolated….
Third stage : Inside the cocoon it nurtures itself …this is where the transition occurs . .. the spiritual , mental and physical development we inflict upon ourselves is portrayed here..
Final stage: the butterfly.. but this is another critical stage where it has to open it wings on itself ripping the cocoon by its own strength.. this exhibits the significance and courage to step out of our own comfort zone ..
There is a saying if you want to cross the ocean you must first have the courage to leave the shore and this is well exhibited in this case. … spreading its wings with the slightest fumbling it glides…. Spreading its dazzling hues into the skies….. as small as it can be but the smile it spreads on peoples face is magnanimous. The significant butterfly. The mesmerizing dance they perform around a butterfly nest… charming and yeah ….worth watching than any stage show….
And all it says finally is " When winter comes can spring be far behind." People just need the faith to hold on.
