Butterflies in a Wheel

                To live life authentically, we have to make the decision of our lives in every moment but once we commit it into action let it be thus the action the will eternally repeat because we know that it is worthy of repeating. Life is a cycle, we start at one point and we end somewhere but there is always the return to the beginning. It will then become boring if it keeps on repeating, but nothing excites us more of the repetition of the events worth of repeating. We then live life creating decisions that we wish to repeat all throughout eternity, never shall they bore us.

                Let me speak of the two butterflies in the wheel. In the beginning there were two butterflies who knew not each other but lived independently in their own wheels, flapping their wings moving the wheel to reach the point of repeating their decisions of a lifetime, but every time they endeavour the wheel broke and left no abode for the butterflies to flap on. As these wheels broke, they flew and flew until both of them simultaneously found a wheel. They both raced towards the wheel trying to find a home, but it seems that both arrived at the wheel at the same time, and also finding the comfort of being two in one wheel.  They then decided to flap their wings together making the wheel move slowly and slowly. As they move the wheel together they found a bond between themselves that they are tied together knowing that this wheel is theirs to fulfil. They have spent a lot of time and effort moving the wheel, but amidst the labour is the companionship together at work, focused on the same wheel.

                The butterflies find the labour of life worthwhile because they become comfortable flapping their wings by each other’s side inside a wheel they chose. The spokes of wheel are slowly returning as they flap from the very first time they came together at the wheel, their endeavour is slowly at the point of repetition, the time measured from the very union they made. They are now slowly smiling as they flap and flap knowing that they have come to a return of which their previous lives bear no return. Return to the very bond that they came to be, but not as broken as they were before, but returning to the very time they came to be as one. A revisit of the beginning.  Union made the butterflies fulfil the return of the spoke. At-one-ness they made a decision of a lifetime worthy of repeating.  Almost there, almost there cried happily the two butterflies, but let us not stop they say, let us not keep it to one, let this endeavour be forever. I chose to flap and move the wheel of life together with you my pair butterfly, let us continuously move the wheel together, forever! Love! Love! Love! Let us continue to turn the wheel, venture the labour of love, only to revisit the fact in that decisive point that we became one!




                Love of two butterflies in one wheel, smiling for they are seeing for the first time of the return of the spoke of the first movement. Never will they stop at the first return, but they have committed themselves to make it return without cease.  These butterflies will live their lives authentically, beautifully for they chose a decision in their life worth of repeating, and that is their love. Not because it ended and is needed to repeat, but it repeated without end, a repeat of the time of beginning but every repetition is the manifold of growth, a bond beginning to be stronger and stronger as the spokes kept on moving until time ends, the wheel will continue to turn and the butterflies will continue to flap.
