Butterflies

Meditation is the process of transformation and beautification of soul from a leaf-eating caterpillar to a nectar-sipping butterfly. It grows with the wings of love and compassion.

Onset of summer is also when you get to see lot of butterflies around, so it is a great time to take a few minutes and learn something new about butterflies and appreciate their beauty.
