I AM LIKE A CATERPILLAR BECOMING A BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY All the struggle I am going through Is like being in labor to Become my true higher self— Like the caterpillar in the chrysalis Being transformed in that dark space Into the butterfly I am becoming. It is a painful, confusing struggle, Overwhelming and frightening, yet It is my destiny and the process My soul has been calling and Preparing for since I was born. I asked for this, prayed for it, Longed for it, dreamed of it, Committed to realizing it through Pure intention to create it As I surrendered to the process Across countless lifetimes of Failure, loss, heartbreak and grief— But now that it is finally here And this transformation is Happening in an unstoppable way, I choose to welcome it and Celebrate the coming day when I emerge to spread my wings And fly free in the beauty and Love of my own true Self.
