Looking straight at me...

Tomorrow is my birthday. A few days ago, before the storms..my son, Evan, noticed this cicada trying to work her way out of her old skin. That is how I feel everyday. I am working my way out of this old skin and becoming a new entity... I am becoming the "real" me. The "should be" skin is peeling away to reveal my potential self...an actualized person. I feel indestructible and very powerful! I was happy to have a chance to experience this little insect's metamorphosis... I learned much about myself by watching her rebirth. She looked straight into my eyes as if she were wiser than I am...hmmm?
