The Cocoon.

29/6/2019

It feels like everything is beginning to dissolve into one great metamorphosis soup.

​It is dark and I am blind….  yet from the darkness I imagine I can hear my soul call to me ʺSarah!ʺ - in a tone that implies it has been waiting for a very long time – as though to say ʺFinally – you can hear me and how wonderful it is to connect again – thank goodness we didʺ.

​The black and white is beginning to dissolve into a nameless grey – the grey of infinite possibility.
I think I have a goal now, a vision borne from lots of reflection and regained knowledge of myself, and a renewed self-belief.

​I am ready to transform, and I want it now. I do not remember the purpose of the cocoon. I am trying to be a butterfly when in reality I am a pupa.
I am years off hatching. My ego is still very much in the driving seat and I am impatient as a result.  I do not realise that the simple act of turning inwards and being still will teach me how to listen and to connect with something greater than myself, to infinite wisdom. The metamorphosis soup inside the cocoon gives me the space and time to listen. Oh, but surrendering is not easy.  

At this point I begin my turn to guidance with the familiar. I am like Pacman, hungrily gobbling knowledge – reading and devouring and looking for clues about how to do this massive transformation thing and to understand what it is. So, I turn to books, and the internet, and to poetry.

​The books give me the guidance I am craving, and the reassurance I so sorely need. Wisdom drips out of some of the pages. I am also drawn to true life stories of spiritual transformation. The poetry soothes my soul….
