“Does the caterpillar know what’s about to happen when it spins a cocoon?
Does it realize that it’s doing more than simply seeking safety?
Does it understand that it’s involved in something greater than simply acting on instinct?
Does it imagine, within its long-sought rest, the beauty to which it will open itself? Does it glimpse the possibility that it may continue its life in a dramatically different fashion than anything it has experience up to this time?
Does it have any idea that it’s about to transform?
Do you?”
