Its final form is an expression of its true nature — its divinity. But in order for this true nature to come out from the inside and shine brightly, the catterpillar has to overcome many challenges and glean lessons from them. Its instinctive knowledge of its final beautiful form helps it to keep going despite the difficult process. I think we all have this instinctive knowledge inside that gives us hope and guides us to our own completion.
The beginning of the song (translated lyrics below) speaks to our innate sense of purpose, hope, and possibility. Please enjoy the English version recording below, and let me know what you think.
"Looking down this dark road
A larva I'm all alone,
Crawling, praying to be something new.
Breaking through my scars to survive,
a pupa asleep alone,
Resting, waiting for my wounds to heal.
Snowy winter covers the night,
but I hold onto dreams inside.
When the spring breeze offers the light,
then you know it's my time to rise, and fly!"
