a new day swirling into life

a new day swirling into life

The caterpillar is generally seen as a kind of 'yucky' creature. However, if it is allowed to live and complete it's life cycle it will, when it is time, spin a cacoon, dissolve into a kind of ooze, and then the cells reconfigure to become a butterfuly. So too with parts of our self ... some parts can be caterpillars for decades until the time for the butterfly cycle arrives. It is our nature to cycle into more refined forms of beauty - we need only practice patience, courage and hope in order to keep moving forward in life. The quote below reminds me of this.
... and if only we arrange our life in accordance with the principle which tells us that we must always trust in the difficult, then what now appears to us as the most alien will become our most intimate and trusted experience. Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.

Just a note for you



I was able to edit the posting Drink Beauty and re-post it, however, I noticed when I went to the email where I receive postings that apparently when an edit to an existing post is done, the edited posting is not sent out. Or, at least I did not receive one in my email. So, if anyone would like to read a completed version of Drink Beauty, just clink on thankyoumagic.blogspot.com and it should be there beneath this post and the oops post. Blessings to each and all ...
