Found this in a Facebook page having nothing apparently to do with our themes here. Loved the sound of it and asked her if I could share here. She explained that this is just something she wrote following meditation. Thanks Emmalee Sara for sharing:
“*You must be willing to lean in to discomfort in order to transform.*(*for emphasis) You must be willing to give up who you think you are for who you could become [for the sake of the Beloved] A bird cannot fly until it breaks the shell; a caterpillar cannot become a butterfly unless it surrenders itself to the cacoon; a seed cannot grow into a good tree unless it is planted beneath the dark soil and breaks its own seed-coat to set down deep roots and then push its way forward to rise up above the soil and reach toward the Light” Emmalee Sara Amán Maryland, USA
