Of the bear from hibernation
Of moth from caterpillar
Kitten from cat
Mind from contact with a great teacher
Actor first arriving on stage
It speaks to the miracle of life
And to the miracles within life
The mystery of what happens
In such nurturing conditions
As permit emergence.
It requires a prior state
No longer able to impose its limits
A transformation of being
Newly able to cope
With different challenges
Changed relationships
With the surrounding world
In which dependence, independence
Mastery and vulnerability
Are differently defined.
