Breaking Through The Cocoon
Inner transformation is a process that typically spans two to three years. It begins with a quiet stirring within the mind - followed by profound questioning, illuminating epiphanies, decisive action, and ultimately - a new-found equilibrium. This is why, if you are supporting and loving someone through such a pivotal period, it is crucial to allow them the grace and space to come into their own. Much like the metamorphosis of a moth, forcibly breaking open the cocoon can inflict irreversible damage on the pupa - or even end its potential entirely.
In nature, breaking through the cocoon is the final test of readiness and resilience. So, offer your support and love with patience. When the transformation is complete and they emerge from their cocoon - realise that it is a privilege to witness such a remarkable evolution in another being.
