Caterpillar
The Caterpillar represents change.
The mind set to “be in the moment” - as each day is its own gift.
Just as the caterpillar holds the vision to evolve into a butterfly, we can learn from it to possess the ability to change and evolve. The focus is not just on the future butterfly evolution, as the caterpillar must dedicate itself to feeding daily and then metaphorically dying in its cocoon to morph into a new transformed creature.
The ultimate process of soul searching within ourselves and feeding ourselves with knowledge in order to understand our own passions and our purpose which is ever changing in an ever changing world. To move beyond feeling stuck in our journey -stuck inside our own protective cocoons of societal conformity- by doing introspection of our shadow and releasing the emotions, thoughts, and ideas surrounding any fears.
Understanding that the journey does not end after transformation but that the spirit is immortal and can transform infinitely thus never dying. That we can imagine, create, and dream endlessly through authentic self expression in every moment of each day like the caterpillar.
