Life has me trapped in a cocoon of earth where I must grow and change until the day I sprout wings. And on that day I shall burst free, no longer marooned on a pebble of dust in a universe that only waits for me to find a means to fly. Richelle E. Goodrich
About This Quote

Life has me trapped in a cocoon of earth where I must grow and change until the day I sprout wings. And on that day I shall burst free, no longer marooned on a pebble of dust in a universe that only waits for me to find a means to fly. The world, as it is today, can be overwhelming. We are surrounded by an ocean of demands on our time, our energy and the very essence of who we are.

If we are lucky, we fall into a cocoon of security, living life as it was meant to be lived. As time passes, however, life’s demands grow more complex. We choose to expand our horizons beyond the cocoon of security.

We develop new skills and capacities far beyond our previous limits. When we are not yet ready for this expanded world, however, life will continue to trap us there. It will continue to demand new growth only when the old cannot support it anymore.

And then one day we will burst free, no longer marooned on a pebble of dust in a universe that only waits for us to find a means to fly.
