Caterpillars
Most of us are caterpillars – and that’s okay, because it means we are on the journey to becoming butterflies. Unfortunately, we live in a society that glorifies colourful, sleek, flighty butterflies – the celebrities, tycoons or politicians – without reminding us that they all started out as ordinary, pudgy, crawling caterpillars. We should be looking in the mirror and not seeing ‘ugly’, ‘uninteresting’ or ‘slow achiever’, but rather ‘beautiful’, ‘fascinating’ and ‘in transformation’. Let’s celebrate the caterpillars of this world – the tireless workers and hidden heroes, the resilient communities and invisible caregivers. Let’s look at caterpillars and see their inner butterflies.
