Transformation into Butterfly

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
- Richard Buckminster Fuller

The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief
in injustice and tragedy.
What the caterpillar calls the end of the world,
the Master calls the butterfly.

Whoever studies himself arrests his own development.
A caterpillar who seeks to know himself would never become a butterfly.
- Andre Gide

There are all kinds of futures.
There is a hoped-for future,
there is a feared future,
there is a predictable future,
and there is an unimagined future.
