Have you been watching the weather? So far this years weather has been a real setback for the Monarchs. Every dramatic change in weather wipes out many that have ventured North. The Great Monarch Migration has many hurdles to overcome. With so many obstacles why dont they just give up? Why do they year after year, after year keep going? They teach us to keep our dreams alive and never quit even the face of overwhelming odds. I wonder if your hanging caterpillar is dreaming of the day it emerges from its case and flies free to start its journey.

Monarchs have been used as symbols of the rebirth in spring, the endless cycle of life and the fragility of Nature. They are gentle creatures which serve to dramatically remind us of the larger picture of which we are a part. Monarchs awaken in us the gentle wonder and peacefulness which we too often neglect in ourselves.

Take a brief moment and see the world through the Monarchs point of view. They make every moment of their brief life count...It is all there:

The birth as an egg and the voracious appetite for all that is familiar in their little world.
The drive to wander off as a mature caterpillar to find a higher, quiet place to change into something new.
The Magical transformation as a majestic butterfly intent on finding a suitable mate to continue the cycle.
Each stage brings growth and greater awareness for the Monarch of what it is and what it must do in its world.
The Monarch can teach many valuable lessons, all without making a sound.
