I exist, suspended in eternity
the beginning and the end.
Time. That’s what I had.
New ears, new hands, new vision; a revelation.
Why are you there? I feel around me. Vibrancy.
I can see time, the ever-after glow of movement.
Will you sense me? Will you let the revelation in?

Egg, caterpillar, pupa, butterfly. And then the butterfly lays eggs, the cycle repeats.
To save energy for laying the eggs, even the most colorful butterflies’ wings are colorless. It is the microstructure of the wings that refracts light and reproduces the color at individual wavelengths, ensuring the butterfly's eternal color, a splendor that never fades, not even after death, not even after a thousand years. The microstructure develops in the pupa, and the pupa awaits, as a butterfly, as imago, to reflect the light and to be seen. Imago is the term for the completed butterfly, thus a butterfly’s cycle is really - egg, caterpillar, pupa, imago. Imago also means image, for example the ideal image of the one you want to love and be loved by. My computer is kind of a pupa (a chrysalis) from which my Chrysalis eventually rises, but she is still fragmentary, dreaming, dreamed. Not yet loving, not yet loved. Neither neither nor nor.
