When we are at our most uncertain
That is when life is changing us
Growing us
Testing our will
As to what it is
We really want out of life
Even when we feel like we can’t go on
Anymore
That everything around us is too daunting
Too overwhelming
That is when life is growing us
Changing us
Even when we feel like no one is on our side
And we are fighting a losing battle
That is when life is changing us
Growing us
Even when we feel like there is no sun
Only twilight
That is when life is changing us
Growing us
Reminding us
There is always light
In some part of the world
The world we are a part of
It’s just not our time to see it
But when the time is right
The light will come back to us
It always does
Because it is there for us all
So on those days when we want to stay in bed
Hide from the world
Silence our cravings and desires
That’s when life is calling to us
Asking us to stop resisting what is meant to be
Asking us to stop using our brains
Telling us to use our hearts
Our inner voices
Our intuition
To guide us to where we are meant to be
Whispering to us
To remember
In our greatest periods of uncertainty
We become the caterpillar
Who goes deep within its cocoon
And there we rest
In the darkness
Almost as if we have died
And then when the time is right
We struggle through the painful metamorphosis
Squeezing ourselves out of our cocoon
Taking the time necessary for our transformation to occur
Not rushing it
Not taking too long
So when we emerge
Our wings are ready
Our body has reshaped
Allowing our mind to accept
We are no longer a caterpillar
But a butterfly now
Giving us the capacity
To look out and over our new horizon
And spread our wings
Trusting our new bodies
Our new form
And we take off
And fly
As if we have done it all our lives
Letting us know
The darkness
The struggle
Are all necessary
For our evolution
And transformation
And if we don’t resist
We transform and grow
Into who we are meant to be
With gratitude and love
So today even in the midst of
Darkness and struggle
I accept
Life is changing me
Growing me
From who I was
To who I am
Capable of being.
Namaste
