How to Transform as You Come Back From Adversity

Sock Doll Hannah

Hannah, a doll made from a stray sock, is quite a helpless creature.

Hannah sometimes has days with her face in the dirt, like a caterpillar.Caterpillar Hannah

 

 

When she can’t take any more of life’s dirt, she creates a cocoon for herself,Cozy Hannah
Where she can heal, rejuvenate and recreate herself.

But eventually the cocoon becomes a prison, and she finds a way to break out.Hannah the Comeback Queen
As she emerges, she discovers that while cocooning, she has been transformed.

Hannah is helpless no longer; she can fly wherever she pleases.Hannah's wings

Helpless Hannah has become the Comeback Queen!

By following Hannah’s process from caterpillar-in-the-dirt through close-up Hannah + wingspinning a cocoon, you too can find a way to transform as you come back from the adversity in your life.

At the level of daily life, there certainly is loss. If we spiritualize it away, we cannot use it to grow. . . . This usually means allowing ourselves to be touched by life, to participate in it. we learn by experience. The unexperienced life does not teach anybody anything. There are no spiritual shortcuts.
