Natural beauty apart, butterflies have traditionally been symbols of important things for man. According to Lafcadio Hearn, a butterfly was seen in Japan as the personification of a person’s soul. One Japanese superstition says that if a butterfly enters your guest room and perches behind the bamboo screen, the person whom you most love is coming to see you. In some cultures, butterflies symbolize rebirth. The butterfly is a symbol of being transgender, because of the transformation from caterpillar to winged adult.
No matter what they may stand for, butterflies are a constant reminder of natural beauty, which is something we tend to forget in our times. Remembering how short but at the same time delicate and beautiful life can be is not a reason to stress about, but a call to live for the moment in beauty and harmony.
