Legacy of Luna.

Once the storm ended I realized that by letting go of all attachments, including my attachment to self, people no longer had any power over me.

They could take my life if they felt the need but I was no longer going to live my life out of fear, the way too many people do, jolted by our disconnected society.

I couldn't have realized any of this without having been broken emotionally and spiritually and mentally and physically.

I had to be pummeled by human kind. I had to be pummeled by Mother Nature. I had to be broken until I saw no hope, until I went crazy and until I finally let go.

Only then could I be rebuilt. Only then could I be filled back up with who I am meant to be. Only then could I become my higher self.

That's the message of the butterfly. I had come through darkness and storms and had been transformed.

I was living proof of the power of metamorphosis.
