Transformation

Did you know caterpillars in their cocoons turn into a soup - completely dissolve and then being to grow again as butterflies?

I guess I thought they "morphed" by growing wings, etc., but it turns out that the caterpillar has to completely release being a caterpillar. She’s got to let go of caterpillarness to allow a new start and grow wings.

I don’t want to dissolve into liquid -goo wrapped in a cocoon shell, but I want some of my thoughts and beliefs to dissolve to make room for new ideas.

Adapting old thoughts and beliefs will work - to a point. then, we have to be willing to release our dogmatic thinking, our theories on "How Life Works" in order to grow and make room for something radically different.

Only then can we fly.
