The Void

"nothing exists in the void."

That Which No Longer Serves Me...

i wonder if the snake feels pain as it sheds its skin?
i wonder if he misses the skin he sheds?
i wonder if the new, fresher skin is sensitive to light, heat, and rough terrain...?

fact is, the new skin has been there all along, developing the strength to break out into the world and have its go as the premier layer of protection. and the snake probably doesn't miss the old skin much, since the shedding is required for growth. as if scratching an itch, the snake rubs himself against a rock until the layer to be shed becomes torn, and works its way out of the shell of skin. the new skin is vibrant and the snake is free to grow until the next shedding.


"May I Shed Like The Snake, Frequently Letting Go Of The Things That Keep Me From Growth And Growing. May I Enjoy The Process Of Shedding As I Look Forward To The Changes That Come With Growth. Shedding Old Skin Means That New And Vibrant Skin Can Be Revealed. I Allow Myself To Freely Shed My Old Skin And Reveal My New Skin!"
