EMERGE

when we emerge into a new beginning, we can emerge like roses or butterflies. the rose bud slowly opens, seemingly effortlessly until it is in full bloom and splendor. the butterfly on the other hand must wriggle and writhe out of its cocoon, and although it may seem like it is struggling and suffering, it is exactly what the butterfly needs to push fluid to its wings...so it can fly.
