Why '1 Caterpillar'.

At forty, I'm really begining to feel faulty everywhere!
One would think that at this age I have learn everything about myself. Not so. Everyday presents something new that I need learning to cope. Living with SMA isn't easy. In many ways I liken myself to a caterpillar journeying through life towards that final transformation that will free me from my physical disability. As a Catholic, I looked to what's beyond.
There's a purpose for our existant. Life is, to me, a school that I may learn and be transformed by what I learnt; a journey filled with exciting things waiting to be discovered. Things that point me towards the Creator of the universe. Life has it's ups and downs, but I'm thankful all the same. 1 Caterpillar's Notebook is where I can share my personal encounters and discovery.

Becoming moths

Moths are beautiful too. But most people don't think so. Well, ain't these beautiful? You'll be surprised that some moths are more beautiful than butterflies.

Whether they become moths or butterflies, I find my happiness when I see their wings are well developed to carry them forth into a world of freedom. Metamorphosis completed. They flew.

Becoming butterflies

These are beautiful. I had watched them grow. Sometimes I got them from egg.

The Malayan Eggfly caterpillar was given to me by a friend, Gan from Nature Society.
