Caterpillar

When the hinges
Finally give way

And the glamour
And glory sway

Beneath the weight
Of tarnished truth
Revealed,

It comes as a
Relief to see

The ultimate
Futility

Of pursuing
What is clearly
A dead end.

No time like the
Present

Said the caterpillar
As she stepped

Across the threshold
Of her homespun
Cocoon

From which she would
Emerge very soon

Transformed
From head to wing

Ready to begin
Her beckoning
Adventures in the sky.

When I wrote this poem years ago, I could only imagine life beyond my unhappy hamster wheel. Now I know how beautiful it is to release the dysfunctional patterns, relationships, jobs and unnecessary burdens that defined my existence. So much so that this past summer I sold my house, quit my job, and moved across the country, from North Carolina to Washington State, to begin the next chapter of my story. This has been a HUGE growth experience for me, in ways I never previously imagined! As I construct my new reality, I look around and am amazed at how joyful and free I am. It’s a continual leap of faith, becoming easier and easier as I go. I’ve been so supported by family and friends. I love living at this high vibration, and connecting with others who are either already there or ready to be!

While talking with Angela this week about the tendency to cling to the habit of a pattern even after the underlying causes/karma are cleared, I had a vision of a deep wheel rut in the mud. I then remembered driving across the country, moving slightly to the left or right of the lane I was in to stay on the higher, less-worn pavement. This provided a smoother, quieter ride. Anyone who’s ridden in my Magic Red Carpet Mazda knows how important it is to avoid the bumps in the road. Opa!!

We each have the power to create new pathways in our lives. It starts with releasing the old familiar habits whose karma may be cleared, but now require a conscious choice to change. This is the time of re-creation in our lives, the world, the YOUniverse and beyond. In order to live our wholeness, it’s key for us to forge new patterns from the mundane details of our routines to where we live and how we manifest BBA (boundless benevolent abundance), from the highest vibrational energy available. We can do this… ALL of us!

As I write, I’m hearing the theme song from Aladdin, “A Whole New World”. I invite you all to join me on this magic carpet ride!
