It was a fine morning with the golden sun ablazing the sky.
My lil niece playing in the garden found a cocoon of a butterfly near an old earthern pot.
Finding it cute, she brings the cocoon home along with her.
Each day before leaving for school, she checked it to observe any change.
Days passed... this thing went on.
One day a small opening appeared.
She sat and kept watching its moments for several hours
as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped, as if it coudnt roll out itself further.

"Chinkyyyyy.... come and get ready for school" her mom calls out to her.
And she leaves for her day at school.
Throughout the day,she was in the thought of the cocoon & curious to know what exactly is happening with it.

Tringgggggggg!!! the school bell rang indicating the time to go home.
A light of joy ran through her face.
The lil one reaches home in hurry to get the glimpse of the new life about to take birth.
And to her disappointment finds it still in the same act of getting itself out.
So, she decides to help the the butterfly. She takes a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.
NOW,the butterfly emerged easily but it had aswollen body and shriveled wings.


Chinky continued to watch it
expecting that any minute the wings would enlarge
and expand enough to support the body.
Neither happened!
Infact the butterfly spent rest of its life crawling around.
Never able to fly ever.
She cried looking at it but it was too late.

What the tiny one, in her her kindness and haste dint understand was-
"BEGINNINGS require struggle"
The restricting cocoon & the struggle required by the butterfly to get through the opening
was a way of forcing the fluid from the body into the wings to achieve its flight.
:)

At times, struggles and beginnings are what we exactly need in life.

RIGHT MOMENT.... RIGHT TIME
And you nail it!
