From a Chinese website of a man who was sexually molested and abused when he was a young child, translated by me…
This is the dream of a woman.
The woman arrived before a doorway. She’d knocked, and an elderly man answered, “You’re here!”
The elderly took out yards after yards of linen, wrapped the woman up, from head to toe, then, hung her upside down.
“This will take you forever!”
The cocoon made from linen was dark on the inside, the woman slowly felt, she was, becoming liquid inside the cocoon slowly.
There was a window inside the room, the elderly man sat by the window, watched the seasons change, for years and years on end.
And finally, the elderly, cut open the cocoon, finding a wet butterfly inside. The woman inquired, “Is it large, or small?”
“It’s big, AND small”, the elderly replied.
The elderly took the butterfly into a room with the sunlight shining through. The butterfly dried up its wings.
The elderly bore witness to the process of metamorphosis, the transformations. He’d told the butterfly, “Stop thinking about the past, or the future, just feel what you’re feeling right now.”
As the butterfly returned to the door it came in which was darkened, the elderly told her, “you can fly in any direction you wish, but, you must, live, in the midst of all of this.”
The butterfly soared into the skies, then, landed back on the ground. Slowly, the butterfly, turned, back into a woman again.
The woman felt, that butterfly, living inside of her.
(Rewritten from “Journey of Transformation”)
Feel that sun shine. Feel your selves change, metamorphosing. Feel the freedom, that came, with this, long and slow process, as well as the powers you’d, gained.
The moment we take flight, we must, leave this, small, precious room, which precious things grew from, and soar towards freedom, as well as the, uncertainties, of this, vast world too.
In the wind and the rain, finding the blessings of life.
This, is the process of overcoming, of maturing, of becoming a whole new “being”, it’s a process of transformation, we all must, endure through, and no matter how difficult the process, once this process started, you will, NEVER be able to, turn back again, but why would you want to? You’re, leaving behind, the old you, and becoming this, brand new “being”, with the knowledge, the better understandings of who you are, and how you’d, become, who you are currently!
