Symbolism in Life

Since I've been dealing with all of this lately, there seems to be one thing that I keep noticing from time to time. Every once in a while I see a Monarch butterfly go floating by, he catches my eye and I follow him till I lose him or something else catches my attention. Well I just saw him again out my window and I couldn't help feeling like it was some sort of a sign. I looked for some symbolism in the image of a butterfly and found this.

Butterflies are powerful symbols for transformation and change throughout many traditions and belief systems.

* In the caterpillar stage we may be stuck with ideas we don’t like or behaviours or paranoias we want to change.

* In the cocoon stage sometimes not a lot appears to be happening although subconsciously and consciously ideas are gestating and changing. Sometimes we can feel a bit lost at this stage.

* Then comes the final transformation to beautiful colourful floating butterfly. The wings pump with blood and we are free to float into our new world, flitting about seeing things from a whole new perspective.


I think I'm stuck in the cocoon stage still but hopefully I can find my wings and float on soon.

The other day, I saw a spider on my apartment's floor. He was big, hairy mother and he just stared at me like he knew that I was going to smash him into his constituent parts.
I think it's a sign that I need to clean.
