Butterfly Quote by Michael Beckwith
“When a caterpillar spins its cocoon, it goes through a transformative process and then emerges as a butterfly. Similarly, when we go through a practice of meditation and prayer, we loosen our egoic grip on a sense of self that is separate from the Whole and become vehicles of the emergent evolutionary paradigm of love, peace , compassion, wisdom, harmony and oneness that seeks expression on the planet.”

![“[E]ven through our limitations, we evolve rather than fail, the way a caterpillar becomes a chrysalis becomes a butterfly, and the succession of life's trials is precisely the unfolding we need to find our bliss and rightful place in the order of things.” quote by Mark Nepo](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d88/mark-nepo-1670_inspirational-quotes_e-ven-through-our-limitations-we-evolve_2215562.jpg)
