Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. Butterflies are beautiful and have mystery, symbolism, and meaning and are a metaphor representing spiritual rebirth, transformation, change, hope, and life. The magnificent, yet short life of the butterfly closely mirrors the process of spiritual transformation and serves to remind us that life is short.
Through heartfelt stories, we have heard butterflies symbolizing the passing of a loved one, or life struggles that people have endured to emerge as a better person. We have heard stories from cancer fighters and survivors, people who have dealt with mental breakdowns, heartache, and drug addictions. Butterflies have also been a symbol for celebrations, weddings, life, and our journeys.
Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time.
Deborah Chaskin
Butterflies start their lives as caterpillars, miraculously form a chrysalis, and wait for the right time to emerge. This quote relates to the fact that butterflies awaken after some time and become the best versions of themselves. Butterflies have to work hard to hatch and grow into the creatures we’ve grown to admire, and so do we as individuals.
