New Life
At the cost of all that was old and needs to be composted.
The accumulation of beliefs and behaviours that are no longer yours. Or may never have been.
The time in life where everything is questioned. Even the ground under your feet. Will it hold you when you step out?
What is true? Is this your story, or one you have adopted?
The shedding of skin, the shedding of identity.
While the process as an adult of metamorphosis is excruciating – spiritually, physically, emotionally – finally after decades, we might get to write, with consciousness, the next chapter of our life.
And for the first time, it might be truly ours.
