When we allow inner change to happen we evoke a generative phase in which we feel unprotected and vulnerable. Our shell is still soft and pliable .This is a inevitable stage of growth , for change for development. But how do we take care of this barely hatched portion of our selves? For in this time we get hurt more easily , caught off guard, surprised . We are all too often susceptible to shame. If we acknowledge this transitional state of being and give ourselves credit for our bravery, this could become a time of discovery, a time resonant with wonder.
