Meditation #4 "Inside
The Golden Cocoon"
I am sitting by the ocean,
the waves crash against the shore and the sound is so hypnotic, soothing,
repetitive, and yet, always new. I imagine that's how life felt inside the
warm, all-encompassing liquid medium that held me inside my mother's womb.
Today I was pondering how Life is such a liquid medium too. Just a week ago,
tears of grief were flowing from my eyes, as I let go of a butterfly and saw
her soar on strong wings, far, far away. Today, my heart soars like she did,
with gratitude and joy. I simmer in the pure, simple joy of being alive,
letting the sun kiss my body and the wind tousle my hair every which way...
Today I want to take your
hand and lead you back to that magical time when your life was entwined and
completely dependant on the Mother that offered her body as your Home. I wonder
what if felt like to BE devoted simply to being, surrendering wholly to the
slow unfolding of my existence. To change from a tiny embryo that resembled
more a seahorse than a human being unfolding and then feel the structures of my
tiny body being perfected, cultivated for specialization, prepared for their
unique, specific purpose.
Oh, if we could continue to
surrender to life in such a way even when we leave the Golden Cocoon. Today, as
I lay by the Mother of all Waters, I let go of the need to be busy, to know
what my day will achieve and what I will do and I let my mind take me back to
that state of expectation, of being held, without anchor or hoist, just
floating, letting processes unfold on their own accord, at their own schedule,
maturing into realization of the plan written within my own genetic material.
When I was just a tiny baby, was I willing to let physiology melt me,like a
caterpillar does before it can be housed inside a Golden Cocoon?
Now, as I meditate about
that stage of becoming a completely new creature, whether my time in the womb
was short, or tinged with uncertainty, can I renew my surrender to Life in
order to grow in Patience and allow time and the wisdom of nature to fully
ignite the being I was meant to be; a lovingly created creature growing my
wings before flying off into a new life.
With love,
Lina.
