While it may look like a florescent green crinkly cut french fry, this conspicuous caterpillar will soon become a polyphemus moth. With a wingspan of nearly 6 inches, it is one of the larger moths in Michigan.
We humans, behind our masks like a caterpillar in its cocoon, are in the process of being transformed. We will emerge from it as different beings than we were when we went in. Change is never easy, but without it there can not be growth. And without growth you can not call something truly alive. What we will be like when the masks come off remains to be seen, but one of the benefits of being human is that we have a certain degree of intentionality where growth and change are concerned. I would like to think that we will all emerge improved rather than just different. We have the capacity for truly wonderful and amazing things.
