Beautiful DeviantArt by Uver


I wanted to share this beautiful passage from "Broken Open" by Elizabeth Lesser (I highly recommend it!!) This is very relevant to where I am right now...

"The great loneliness- like the loneliness a caterpillar endures when she wraps herself in a silky shroud and begins the long transformation from chrysalis to butterfly. It seems that we too must go through such a time, when life as we know it is over - when being a caterpillar feels somehow false and yet we don't know who we are supposed to become. All we know is that something bigger is calling us to change. And though we must make the journey alone, and even if suffering is our only companion, soon enough we will become a butterfly, soon enough we will taste the rapture of being alive."
