Dedicated to soul who has longed to know who you are, yes you.
The little baby lady bug crawled out of her egg. She began to wander searching for something. She talked to bigger lady bugs with beautiful wings. Sometimes she felt like an ugly black bug and so very alone. She had moments that she felt confident and free, but mostly she knew that she different because she could not fly. The little lady bug did not look much like a grown up lady bug. Still she kept searching.
As she wandered she learned, and as she learned she changed. Sometimes as she was searching, she found other little lady bugs that were searching too. She felt happy as she shared the lessons she had learned to become more. Now she had tiny wings, but she could still not fly. Slowly she was changing and becoming. Now, the lady bug could look back and see how far she’d come and how much she’d grown. She felt happy, but knew there was more.
One day a long, long time later after lots and lots and lots of searching becoming and growing, the lady bug made another cocoon around herself. She felt more strong and free than ever before. When she talked to the tiny lady bugs, they wanted to become like her. Then as the wind blew across the garden, without even realizing it, she opened her wings and flew, to begin searching again.
