The circle of life within the natural or animal world seems much easier to accept than one’s own human mortality. The aging out of teenage years, and growing into my early adulthood is filled with much dread; that life has been wasted, with nothing accomplished even with so much left to live for. The process of metamorphosis of a butterfly is fascinating, how all stages of life engage their own unique and beautiful moments, progression, and changes. The butterfly is an organism that is born, breathes, lives, and dies, and lacks the same human consciousness and anxiety towards aging and death. The circle of life is a system in itself which one is unable to avoided or circumvented, both a horrific and harmonious sentence.
