So, you're a caterpillar, nourish yourself!

We often talk about how being a caterpillar is leading up to getting into that cocoon and becoming a butterfly. It's great to be a butterfly when the time is right, but you have to earn becoming a butterfly! If you want to fly, be present and nourish the caterpillar stage of life first. Take care of yourself where ever you are in life because it's a beautiful and necessary part of your life cycle. Everything in its right time. If you're going through a caterpillar stage, be a caterpillar.  Enjoy that life is about consuming and growing and shedding what no longer fits. That doesn't mean it's easy. Heck, caterpillars have to molt about four times in the short part of their life cycle. The big picture of that part of the butterfly's life cycle is very short but you can't be a butterfly without being a caterpillar first. 

You get the metaphor, right? We go through cycles many times in our lives, hatching, growing, transforming and then flying. You don't have to grieve when you're not in the winged butterfly stage of your life. Be where you are; you're still 
growing. No one starts out as a butterfly.

And when you're in the butterfly stage you have to know that "this too shall pass," as life brings its ups and downs-the broad places and the narrow places. If you're in caterpillar mode, don't worry, you'll fly, but before you do, you'll need to grow as a caterpillar. The time will come to rest inside your cocoon. Then, only when the time is right, you'll fly.
