noun, plural met·a·mor·pho·ses [met-uh–mawr-fuh-seez].
- A profound change in form from one stage to the next in the life history of an organism; a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.
A. The 1st of December marks the start of meteorological winter. Little by little, we move further away from the sun, but it is not until weeks later that we feel the brunt of this season, the day in which we experience the least amount of light. We experience this all the same, together. The weather has turned cold and so have you. Day by day, drifting further away. The winter solstice.
B. You begin to feel the world caving in around you but what you don’t know is that change is coming your way. Of course, how can one possibly see this coming? This haphazard transformation.
C. It is human nature to experience life in stages, and these stages, in cycles. The weather, seasons, growth, it comes and goes. It’s beyond our control. We are meant to undergo change. Life around us is supposed to alter, for better or for worse.
A. The start of change marks the start of metamorphosis. From one stage to the next, trust that you will become who you are destined to be. Maybe not this season, maybe not this solstice, but we are perpetually evolving, one day at a time.
