On the Wings
of Change #wingsofchange
When I visited St. Maarten, I went to a beautiful butterfly
sanctuary. La Ferme des Papillon, operated
by a man whose interest in the butterfly supersedes anyone I’ve ever known. Our
adventure began with a seminar in the life of a caterpillar from egg to
butterfly. What I had never understood about the metamorphosis is that when the
caterpillar wraps itself in the cocoon, its entire body liquefies. From that
liquid, its DNA changes shape and form. What a tremendous miracle! More than
that, this can be a metaphor of change for us humans.
We are born to the earth, much like the butterfly’s first
form, crawling and mewling like the caterpillar. We slowly investigate the
world from the vantage point of the earth. We taste and feel the shapes of life
as we skim the rough surfaces beneath. As we mature, we finally find a place of
peace and refuge high above the rough surfaces of the earth. In that place, we
build a home—a sanctuary, in which we can gather our energy and begin to
understand our existence from this perch.
Soon, spirit intercedes and begins to change us from within,
much like the caterpillar who surges ahead from a solid to a liquid. Liquid or
water has always been a rite of spiritual change, even as baptism with water has
been a spiritual passage for hundreds of years.
What I’ve noticed most about the latter years of our human
lives is that everything either seems to be timeless or the seconds seem to be
quickening. In the human body, time goes by so quickly, I can barely keep up with
what day it is. But in the spirit, life becomes a strong OHM, monotone and
consistent, like the monks of the Christian church who sequester themselves in
the rocky mountains over the sea sides of Greece. The fluid chants fly on the
wings of the wind throughout the entire day and night.
The life of the winged butterfly is short in comparison to
most. The Monarch butterfly, if it is among the first to third generation can
live from two to six weeks. Because of the migration of the fourth generation
Monarch, it can live up to 8 months. Still, the time of the butterfly is short
on this earth. It seems to live with vibrancy and beauty long enough to help
humans understand the ephemeral nature of time and existence. (Taken from
