Butterfly Fairy
Butterflies have an innately magical vibe about them. The way they look. The way they move. Even the way they live.
A butterfly starts its life as a very small egg on the leaf of a plant. It then hatches into a caterpillar, eating and eating until it’s just the right weight. Once done growing, it forms a cocoon or pupa until it’s later ready to reemerge into a gorgeous butterfly.
And what a beautiful – and appropriate – metaphor for a soul’s journey here on earth. We, too, start out as a tiny embryo, learning and growing until we transform into our most enlightened version of ourselves. Like the caterpillar, we crawl along in search of more to feed our souls. We turn inward, creating our own cocoon, as we explore, ask questions and develop our inner being through meditation, spiritual courses and prayer. When our transformation is complete, we awaken and we’re ready to spread our wings and share our true selves with the rest of the world. - 457×610mm
