Aloha Lani!!

Thanks for stopping by, and for your comments! 🙂

I love that you are able to find the story and metaphor that works for you. The Mighty Maggot!! I also appreciate that you are able to love yourself and hold the space of moving through a messy and uncomfortable period of self-growth. Yay you!!

And thanks again for the article!
Perhaps I am just a grasshopper with lots of jumps in me 😉

Love the suggestions! 🙂

Many, many thanks for this website. Am new to it & grateful to have been synchronistically led to it!

While I loved & enjoyed Z’s article, the analogy & the beautiful photos of the grasshoppers, I also related to the maggot… (And, I haven’t counted the # of shifts, as perhaps outwardly the expressions aren’t as dramatic. Or maybe I just have a long way to go… Seems that it’s easier to remember deeper truths for others.) Nevertheless, each morphing has led to progress, into more ‘being-ness’, more joy, creativity, faith & living more intuitively in the moment… for which I am grateful.

Just before a molting, I go through a ‘maggot’ period… Quite messy, uncomfortable, & easy to get into self-judgment… Yet I have come to see it always leads to another shift.

Thank you for the maggot clean-up team analogy. Helps me be more compassionate with myself & shift more into Rumi’s description of the Divine world, rather than the polarity of 3D thinking.

Thank you both! Fun & inspiring!

Hi Rumahji,

Thank you for your comment and for visiting the blog. I like the vision of the grasshoppers invading the world for peace. What a great way to envision it.

Blessings to you. Come back again anytime! 🙂

Yep. The buzzard would be on that list for sure and hyenas and worms too and maybe some of the creepy crawlies you need to keep your fish tank clean. You could call them the “Alchemists” or how ’bout “Transformers”?

Why should butterflies and dragonflies get all the glory? Keep up the good work, Grasshopper.

Hi Janet,

Oh this makes me so happy. Anytime one of my blog posts can frighten a cat, I feel that I’ve done my job.

I like that you had the opportunity to morph often as a kid – that’s a new take on the “frequent moves as a child” theme. And I’m happy that you’ve overcome any bad press! 🙂

Hi Tracy,

Ahhhh – the maggot/fly. I will put this on my list of possible future blog posts. The animal kingdom has much to teach us about growth and rebirth. And true beauty. Buzzards are also on the list, for the same reason. 🙂

Hi Karen,

I too have moved from someone who didn’t get country music to someone who now truly enjoys it. Especially Vince Gill (Melissa and I have tix to see him in October!).

Congrats on your multiple rebirths! Glad you have emerged a better and stronger incarnation each time. And I’m glad you like the antennae cleaning piece. Talk about tidy!! 🙂
