Butterflies

I saw a butterfly cocoon the other day.  It got me to thinking.  *DANGEROUS*  I know!

All the yuck that it went through as a squirmy grody little caterpillar.  Then to fight its way out of such a sturdy strong cocoon.  It has to struggle to get out or else its wings would not be strong enough to fly once released from its inprisonment.

Realizing that power to free itself, it goes into the world gathers with other beautiful magnificent butterflies.  And think of the tiny little winds each of them create.  Have you ever seen a butterfly swarm...  beautiful, awe-inspiring, collectively productive.  Think of the ecological and environmental effects that groups of butterflies must have.  If such tiny little creatures have such a profound effect.  Why can't we?
