As people, we are always growing: in our views, in our personality, in our dreams and in our fears. We are never static, always evolving toward our highest self. We might feel that our journey is just beginning, finally coming into view, or reaching an end. A butterfly experiences three distinct phases in its life: caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. We can transfer these stages to our lives: the unknown, the realization, and the upcoming. However unlike the butterfly, these cycles of growth and change don’t always happen in a consecutive order, but rather ebbs and flows, circling back, repeating and skipping stages as we live; with each new cycle an opportunity to be renewed, reborn. This issue explores our metamorphosis, and the reckoning that things will not always be the same; we face the uncertain daily and emerge wholly new.
