The caterpillar has never seen itself as a butterfly
yet it follows its instincts to become the butterfly later.
The mystery has not yet unfolded
just as the butterfly's wings have not yet unfolded
and then expanded to become wings of exquisite beauty
and with the capacity of flight that follows.
So it is that Man sleeps and accepts the future time of awakening
to switch from temporary hibernation to revitalisation.
The light at the end of the tunnel is often more associated
not just with hope in the solving of life's problems
but the hour of the death experience
and the transfer from this realm to the spiritual realm instead,
such that the brilliant bright light is the destination point
and what follows next is what follows next
because that existence differs
from soul to soul and from spirit to spirit.
