Transformation

Life often feels like a continuous step-wise act between feeling grounded and balanced, and being thrown completely off. It doesn't have to be a completely life-changing event -- though those obviously can and do happen -- but even within the space of an hour, I could be feeling in command and control preparing dinner one moment and then completely blind-sided by a violent tantrum the next.

The issue is that the more I hold onto what I should be, or maybe (more accurately) how I would prefer to be, it's impossible to flow with life. Like a caterpillar that fears the end of what it knows as its existence, holding myself back from what the situation is asking of me really only creates more conflict and denies the potential of what I could become.
