Embarrassing Moments

Just when I thought my repertoire of "life's most embarrassing moments" exhausted itself, the Universe stepped in to increase my supply! Whenever we endure a situation which makes us feel uncomfortable, life steps in to slap us into new awareness. As if the discomfort level weren't enough, some pesky lesson rears its ugly head, too. At an embarrassing moment, humility itself fills the space in the room and engulfs you like the slow-motion of fog descending on an asthmatic, but add a life-lesson into the mix and you get some downright powerful transformation thrown in for free!

    

Eagle & the Caterpillar

The transformation of the caterpillar into butterfly gives us one of the last remaining observable instances of evolution. Brought into full expression of its nature, the Leoidoptera incubates itself through the phases of its own development. Others in the insect kingdom may also pace through the stages, but none change their nature as does the caterpillar. You can't help but wonder if the crawling insect knows it's fate. Surely, we crawl in our earliest beginnings - yet how many of us actually incubate our own transformation and actually soar?
