Butterflies

Did you know that when a Butterfly emerges from its cocoon, and flutters out into the air with its new colours on display, it can't actually see its own wings?

The butterfly has no real clue of its metamorphosis.

But to the outside world, it is no longer a drab, monotone moth. It is now one of the prettiest aspects of nature.

And yet the butterfly never gets to see its own beauty.

Transformation can be obvious to all but the transformed.

This is really profound. I've reread this post several times for that reason and the beauty of it never diminishes.
