A Walk in the Park

    Today I was reminded of a very special walk in the park.

I was in a tizzy.  You see I felt I was going in circles.

The days were rolling by & the nights dragging.

So I sat on a bench at the waters edge and began to ponder.

I found myself in a day dream. I saw myself as a caterpillar.

Crawling around on my belly.  Not really going any where but moving none the less.

Being a caterpillar was not a problem, That I didn't mind.  It was the crawling around going nowhere.

I found that, in this state I just wandered and existed.  Being, but not doing.

It made me feel as though I had no purpose, as though things were just passing by.

Yet I had a stirring, a calling of sorts.  Couldn't quite put it together, yet the stir moved within.

It tickled my mind.  I began to search and seek what and where to go.

I found a tree.  Began to climb.  It was a task and caused bumps and bruises.

However, I was compelled. I couldn't stop the pull and did not want to.

So climb I did up that tree and there I found the place of Peace like I've never known. 

A place where the mind was the focus and the Spirit of man was the place of reckoning.

I wrapped myself in this new strength.  It fit like a cocoon, weaving itself around me.

Mind.  Body.  Soul.  Spirit. 

I was enamored.  A strange new thing was taking place and it felt good.

It was hard to adjust to the new mindset and yet my soul longed for the change.

I stayed in this condition for a long time, seeking, striving, morphing into my true self.

You see I had no Idea what was transpiring, only that it was intriguing and beguiling.
I  received this as a strange and wonderful experience.
Something deep within pressed upon me.   I began to push my way through this chrysalis.
Compelled to push ever out and into that new something I could not quite understand.
Push I did, with ALL the courage and Might I could muster.
Facing all the old behaviors and thoughts , realizing they did not fit me anymore.
I had changed , formed into the True self and the reality struck deep.
You see as I pushed I worked all that Wisdom & Word & Teaching through every cell in my being.
As I emerged I found I was no longer a caterpillar....I had drastically changed.
There I sat, ready to take flight.  For I had become my TRUE self....A BEAUTIFUL Butterfly.
Now able and willing to soar and be free....for I had granted myself permission to be.
Just be, a new creation and in doing so, to be free.
The mind is a mighty tool of powerful influence and ability.
When filled with positive fullness of word and principle utter change forms .
I have had the wonderful experience of transforming into my true self.
I invite you to take the journey and find that within--- you too, can fly.
Use Words of Wisdom & Truth and allow the Beauty of your True self to be set free.
