Chapter 10 butterfly seeds

on the cloud 林清玄 531Words 2018-03-18
I was in the yard, observing how a chrysalis turned into a butterfly. The chrysalis bit the shell, and its whole body got out of the shell wet and limp. Its wings were curled and shrunk into a ball. It stood on the branch to rest and bask in the sun, as if it had used a lot of strength to get out of the shell. Slowly, slowly, it straightened its wings and flew up. It hovered in the air for a while, and quickly found a flower. It stopped on the flower, sucking the nectar intently and forgetfully. I am very amazed, this butterfly has never been taught how to fly, never learned how to drink nectar, no parent taught it, these are its first time, how accurate it is the first time And perfect!

It occurred to me that this butterfly will mate, reproduce, lay eggs, and die in the future, all without learning and education. Then, its descendants, generation after generation, can fly and pick flowers without education and learning. What does a butterfly rely on to arrange its life?Without education and learning, how does it accomplish such complicated things as flying or gathering honey? Isn't there many things in this world that are perfectly displayed without education and learning?How perfect are the nests of birds, and the webs of spiders!When a peacock wants to fall in love, it spreads its tail and dances!Larks sing when they are in love; swans and giant salamanders never get lost after traveling thousands of miles; cheetahs and ostriches are natural runners.

These all make me believe that reincarnation is real. A butterfly is reincarnated into this world with the seeds of the previous life. In its seeds, there is an unshakable belief: "I will fly! I will gather honey! I will reproduce!" In that beautiful butterfly, I saw the infinity of space and the flow of time, and I was deeply moved.
