A TRANSFORMATION

A Transformation

Just as a worm has to break out of the chrysalis to become a butterfly, so you are fighting against resistance. You are using all of your strength and your power to push through. Yet, no matter how much you push or how hard you try, there are no results. That wall is still as hard and closed off as before.

You are still in darkness and those walls are not giving in. You look and see that the chrysalis remains the same and you are still within those same walls. What you do not see though my child, is the strength that you have acquired by pushing against these walls.

What you fail to see is that even though your circumstances have remained the same, YOU have changed. You have become stronger.

The butterfly stretches and beats against that wall, to strengthen itself. For a long time, the wall does not give, but as the worm pushes and stretches, it becomes stronger under those circumstances. It becomes stronger and stronger until one day; it eventually breaks through the limitations of that chrysalis.

Just like that worm, you cannot change your circumstances until you are changed from within. So let those restrictions challenge you and push against them until you are made strong. When you break out of them, you will see that the delight is not that things have finally changed and that you are no longer within those walls, but you will delight in something much more: you will see that YOU have changed and become a butterfly. When your circumstances change, you will not even notice, because it will be dwarfed next to the fact that you are now a butterfly. You will see that, indeed, my hand was in this, all along.
