METAMORPHOSIS

(metamorphosis) noun. The process of transformation from an immature form, to an adult form, in two or more distinct stages.

​

When I was a child, I had a strong feeling that I came here to accomplish something important, and yet, I had no idea of exactly what it was that I was meant to be doing. I would not wish such a state of confusion upon anyone.

​

I knew I didn’t fit into this world, but as it was the only world I knew. I felt I had no choice but to try and fit in. But, every worldly door I tried to open got slammed in my face. Every selfish ambition I pursued, ended in humiliation. The accumulation of many similar experiences, eventually led me to the conclusion that I was a failure. As seen through the eyes of the world, maybe I was.

​

In 2012, at the age of 51, I died. All the confusion I had ever experienced, evaporated like fog vanishing in the heat of the morning sun. The full remembrance of what I came here to accomplish, returned, and with it, a quiet confidence that I knew from experience, was greater than my own.

​

Just like a butterfly emerging out of the ashes of it's former self, I returned to the world, completely transformed by my experience. During my own metamorphosis, I came to the realisation, that death is the price the caterpillar has to pay for the butterfly to exist. From a caterpillars perspective, death is the end. To the butterfly, it is just the beginning.
