Transformation...have you ever thought about it?

Transformation is one of the most common events of nature. The seed becomes the flower. The cocoon becomes the butterfly. Winter becomes spring and love becomes a child. Marriage is a transformation we choose to make. Our love is planted like a seed, and in time it begins to flower. We cannot know the flower that will bloom, but we can be sure that a bloom will come.

I just read this poetic reference of Transformation from Doug Hoffman. It delights me and it is fun to share with you. Yes, I'm on my way to paint...the show is Saturday, so much to do!

“We are all boats at anchor. Depending upon circumstances, or genes, or upbringing, or whatever, we may be attached to our anchor by a longer or a shorter chain. We may have more or less freedom to move about, but we are still chained and anchored.

If the winds blow strong enough, or the tides are powerful enough, or if we run our little engines hard enough, we may find that our anchor drags across the seabed a short way. And then we find ourselves in a new place. But we are still chained and anchored and stuck.

It isn’t until we dive down deep and sever the chain from the anchor that we become truly free. Then the 7 seas and all they contain are within our power to experience, as we choose. That process of diving down and releasing is called Transformation---


"The man who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones."
-- William Faulkner

Longing for a miracle that will transform your life? Miracles happen, and if we don’t want that magic to disappear on us, we need to learn from each epiphany -- to integrate it, apply it, and build on it so we can permanently shift to a new level of being.

The real key to fulfillment lies in ONGOING transformation: building our awareness of daily opportunities to change our perceptions and raise our consciousness. Life is about dissolving the old and creating anew. The more we open to accepting and learning from every life experience, the more our lives transform.
