Transformation

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly. -Margaret Fuller
       Forgot to put up a quote yesterday, too many distractions and a bit too much tension on the personal side of life. While the transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly is wondrous, most of us don't experience anything nearly that dramatic. It is a much slower process, and at times the transformation is barely discernible. While I would hope that it would keep us humble, I fear that most find it boring. The Church latched on to this imagery early on in trying to help us grasp what the Resurrection would be like. Death and Resurrection are the most profound changes we will face in life.
