TRANSFORMATION

                                                                   TRANSFORMATION

The enveloping oak comes from a seed.  The seed is a powerful womb of being, protecting the curling oak that lives inside it.  As the transparent shell basks in the sun, the folded embryo becomes warm--and the miniature tree begins to stretch within its tiny pouch.

As all things are drawn to the sun, the inside of the seed pushes and reaches toward the celestial heat-- it strives to become one with the hot magnet.  The birthing tree emerges into the Light--where beams pull at it constantly.  The embryo rises, while its empty shell is left to dry.

Unfolding slowly, quietly--mysteriously--the unbridled masterpiece of the cocoon awakens.  Lifting out of its soil, crackling and breaking through its own skin, the arrival of the tree is a miracle--a transformation of the tiny and the hidden--and the Unknown.  The awakening of a concentrated little pocket of majesty, erupts into a stunning creation.

The former prisoner unwinds and extends into the universe, her extravagant arms and limbs of her muscular bounty a dance.  The oak tree is a prodigy of the sky--its transformation from a seed into the almighty wood is one of Life's greatest performances.

Likewise, the human's emergence from its hidden shell is akin to the oak's, and another stunning performance in the power of transformation.
