A pupa must choose
whether to stay as a pupa or to let itself go.
As ‘letting itself go’ means ‘death’, it’s a tough decision.
But if it sticks to being a pupa, a pupa itself will also dry up and disappear one day
Whether to stick to being itself
or to let go of the old shell…
A gallant pupa chooses ‘death’
and a new life is waiting for it.
At the moment of letting go of the old ‘self’, it is born again as a ‘new self’
as a truly beautiful creature, indeed.
After the pupa is dead it is ‘born again’ as a butterfly,
and now there is only the life as a butterfly while all the days as a pupa have disappeared.
A new life; it’s the privilege only for those who let go of the ‘self’.
