Topic: Beauty and butterflys | |
---|---|
Hi,
I woke up early this morning and one of the first thoughts that came to my mind was the image, used by saint Teresa of Avila in her classic (or maybe other place) "The Interior Castle", of the caterpillar and the butterfly as the soul ascend to union with God. She compares this ascension to the transformation of the caterpillar into a butterfly. What struck me this morning was how fitting was the comparison and the result. The caterpillar left its life on the ground, or on a tree, and starts to fly displaying all its beauty. It is Sunday, a day of thanksgivings, so let thank God for all the beauty around us and in us. Have a nice day. |

Hi
what a beautiful topic. It reminded me of a workshop I once attended. We were to interpret the life cycle of a butterfly and compare with human. I am called Teresa but I had never understood the story of the butterfly. Thanks, God bless you. |
