Lord, some people fast. How can I prepare, or train, for what You are calling me to do, to become?
I’m not exactly calling you to Become. I Am calling you to Come, Be. Be who you are. There is a difference.
What about transformation? That is becoming; that is change.
Not at emergence. At emergence, the Butterfly Is. But it must come forth. It must emerge. At emergence others see—and say—transformation! Well, yes—and no. The Butterfly always was, within the caterpillar.
You saw the butterfly! You called it forth! Things that are not as though they are!
Here is the Mystery. The “are not” is in your vision—the “are” is in Mine. What I call forth is really Vision, is for you to see what I already see, and Name.
Butterfly?
Butterfly.
Fragile…
Resilient. Strong. Beautiful. Inspiring and uplifting. Gentle. Living only on sweetness, kept alive by joy. “Born in calm.” And passing on a legacy of beauty and freedom for generations to come.
So the transformation?
Is already accomplished. You are who I say you are.
Then why the word about waiting?
You aren’t waiting to become—you are waiting to be revealed.
God, I have so many swirling thoughts and questions, questions about the business, and being this, this other thing, this butterfly-thing. I don’t want my life with critters to be a schtik. You know? I want it to be real, so real.
Eve, it is. It already is. It is your doubt that makes you falter. The critters, as you call them—and yes, call them—know you. They recognize you. You are one who has been coming. They have been waiting for you. You won’t chase them, you will draw them.
