The Egg Tale

New story occurred to me today.

An egg lies under a hen, the hen keeping the growing chick inside warm until “god as I understand her” tells the chick, “ it is time to take that new beak of yours and start chipping away at the inside of the shell you are in so it cracks.” The chick pecks away inside the shell until it cracks and VOILA, a new baby chick is born.

I think this is what it is like for humans too, except, "god," she tells the baby to swim toward the light at the opening of the vagina! It is a difficult journey for both Mother and Child.

Now, there is one other time in your life, if you are blessed. At the time it doesn’t feel like a blessing. But, like Humpty Dumpty, you fall off the wall of your understanding of your life as you know it, and all the kings horses and all the kings men cannot put you back together again. Nothing makes sense, nothing works to soothe your anxiety and despair of losing the coping mechanisms you have been collecting for the last X years. (In my case, it happened at 35.)

Again, if you are blessed, something so shameful will happen that will compel you toward a spiritual awakening, and you begin to put life together in a different way. In my case, I lost a job because my daughter told on me. She was seven. She knew I was distracted and well on my way to dying of drinking.

You are taught how to be less selfish, more loving, more helpful, less afraid. In fact, your god as you understand her will begin to place exactly who/what you need, exactly when you need them (it), and life begins to take on a greater meaning.

If it happens to you, Count yourself among those who experienced a new lease on life. Be thankful EVERY DAY, even though you will think, “I did not sign up for this shit,” on some days. Be patient and kind, forgive all and open your heart to unconditional love. It is waiting for you in this journey!
