The Caterpillar is Aspiring

What comes directly after being healed?
When you can sense it:and the wings begin to stir
as wind rises through feathers.
I think of the butterfly which goes through stages in its metamorphosis.
The butterfly begins as a caterpillar in a cocoon which breaks through
a fragile,grey shell.
As a butterfly the insect is fitted with wings made of bright colors which enable flight.
The butterfly has reached its grand stage having capabilities unlike any other in the stage of its development. The butterfly does not complain or wonder what it would be like to descend in a return to the former stages of growth.
The same principle applies to self esteem that has been fought so hard to attain.
Once you have realized a healthy self image accept it,and spread your wings.
Sometimes we just need a little room to fly.
