One of my favourite writers is intuitive Rachelle Hill, who posts on her blog regular thoughts that one way or another, stick with me. This posting seems just right, for the spring:

Chrysalis

A caterpillar doesn’t necessarily know she is walking into a time of stagnation and darkness, but it is a process that enables her growth. We can relate to this time in our lives when our life has roadblocks, or dead ends and when we are out of gas. It can mean a time of waiting, a time of winter or hibernation as beautiful as the seasons change, we adapt and flow with the fluctuations.

When it’s time to enter the cocoon, we rest.

The sensing of the right time is when the caterpillar emerges from the cocoon. I love the word emerge, as in emergence, a coming out of…how beautiful to come out of the darkness, the stillness, the empty tank, refueled, lit up and alive.

It is this time, or season, that we break through the old patterns, the tired, limiting beliefs and spread our wings. Travel to new worlds, new ideas, new roads. Explore, expand, emerge.

Honour the stages and when it is time of the chrysalis, you will know.
