In the Chrysalis

There are things growing within our souls right now. Even if it feels uncomfortable, I can feel that I am realigning with my truth. Just like a butterfly growing within its chrysalis, what if we trusted the cycles of life, with full faith that something magical and beautiful will emerge in the end?
