We should really welcome discomfort and a dash of fear, because we can use that fear and transmute it into energy and the excitement we need to launch a new life. The Void is the place between, that squirmy, dark place we've got to go to feel just how much we need to move on and integrate some learning. The Void is a kind of necessary no-man's land. When we've just come out of a lot of pain and turmoil, the Void allows us to prepare for the new. It's like the quiet time the butterfly larva spends in its cocoon gaining strength as it metamorphoses into the wonderful new creature it is becoming.
Worthwhile things take risk.
Like the butterfly, we must be willing to enter the no man's land while we transition into our new and better selves. The seasons are a wonderful metaphor for our lives. Spring skips into summer's grace. Then, nights cool and the leaves are gradually painted with fall color. Winter comes only after animals grow thick, warm fur, and birds have traveled hundreds of miles to migrate.
