LOVE BUTTERFLY - Love is like a butterfly | Podcast by Neha's Notebook

Time and time again, people have wondered what love is. Sometimes we think that love is romance, sometimes we think that love is devotion and loyalty and faith. Sometimes we think love is sacrifice while sometimes we think love is eroticism. Everyone has a different definition of love.

 

Sometimes we believe that love is about our relationship with another person and sometimes we believe that love is about befriending ourselves and our deepest shadows.

 

In my opinion, love is like a butterfly that flies from flower to flower. These flowers are our thoughts and butterfly is our point of attention. Our point of attention travels from thought to thought throughout the day and all the time.

 

Love is also what causes the butterfly to fly from flower to flower, what causes it to select a flower and then move on to another flower and so on.

 

Just like a butterfly is born from the metamorphosis of a caterpillar, love is born out of a series of metamorphosis processes. A caterpillar, once ready, starts getting encapsulated in a gooey cocoon. Nobody knows what happens inside this cocoon. Its one of the greatest mysteries of life. Similarly, no one can decipher what’s happening inside of us while we are encapsulated in a series of challenges and struggles. We struggle, we evolve and out of this series of evolutions, emerges the energy of love. Like the cocoon of caterpillar bursts open into a butterfly, our cocoon bursts open with the roaring energy of love that is calm and intense at the same time.

 

Like a butterfly, love has wings. It flies and spreads like an ocean. It roars like a majestic tiger. It is like a mighty hero.

 

It is that which connects one thing to the other. It is the secret thread of connection between one and two. It is the pigment behind every color. It is also the canvas on which the colors are painted.

 

Love is the insight and also the stream of thoughts which led to this insight. It is beauty and also the emotion which causes us to feel the beauty.

 

Wrapping it all up,

 

Love is a butterfly

she needs to grow her wings

she needs to fly

atop the crayon-dusted flowers

and gardens and meadows

So let love grow its wings

in the cocoon of your mind

Let it emerge, fly and soar

like an eagle butterfly!
