Carousel by Atmos
Atmos@atmos Every transformation is worthy of wonder. While insects like moths and butterflies experience what’s known as complete metamorphosis, dragonflies and damselflies follow a different path. Rather than a defined, dramatic shift, their incomplete metamorphosis consists of an array of gradual realignments. In this archival edition of The Overview, @willowonearth looks to this life cycle of incremental change—a reminder of the imperfect, subtle process of remaking ourselves.

@margariddas THIS: “So we itch and push for progress, ever inching toward a future where we might break above the waves and leave this old world behind […] until the moment arrives when you rise above the water only to realize that all the while you thought that you were drowning, you were learning how to fly.”
@lore_9 A mix of evolution, poetry and discovering of one self. Pure joy ✨💫
