From A Caterpillar To A Butterfly

Time-lapse photography is a technique whereby the frequency at which film frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing making processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, e.g. the motion of the sun and stars in the sky, become very pronounced.

In time-lapse photography, you can watch a plant grow from a seedling. You can watch its leaves unfurl and reach hopefully toward the sun. You can see the buds form. You can see the petals open until they are rich and full. But if you sat and just watched that plant grow, you wouldn't notice much of anything.

Changes in life are practically the same; they happen but they are often unnoticed. Don't obsess or overthink about them; just be yourself, live for the moment, let things take their natural course and even if it doesn't seem like much right now, but once the blooming begins, you'll find great joy and fulfillment, and you'll wake up one day looking out the window, and you will realise that you're not the same person you were a day before or even a moment ago.  You will realise that you're a more mature, experienced and complete person.

The process is everlasting because everyday we learn or acquire something new, and the outcome never stops getting better... isn't this the way a caterpillar turns into a butterfly?

To Bee Or Not To Bee

One of the most important and fascinating creatures on this planet is the bee. It's been said that if bees were to disappear, the earth would only last another four or five years. After all, bees provide an overwhelming amount of pollination, which keeps our food sources thriving.
 
But many people rarely even notice the bee. Unless a bee invades a picnic or becomes unwittingly trapped in someone's house or car, this essential creature is often unnoticed.

It is amazing how something so small and so subtle can change the course of the universe. This is why I have always said that everything that happens in our everyday life, even a glance on the streets or a handshake with a stranger, can change not only our future but the future of the world.

In another perspective, we often take things around us for granted and worse yet, we get so caught up with trivial things that we tend to completely forget about the essential ones.

If you think thoroughly about it, we all have at least one important resource that we're taking for granted. Therefore we should always acknowledge its role and make sure that it's safe.
