Cornerstone of Transformation

Learn to be the cornerstone
That sits in the middle of a crossroad.

A grounding force and anchor for others,
Where all transformation can radiate.

Be the tree branch
Where caterpillar can morph
From chrysalis into a butterfly.

Be the rich soil
Where the seed can grow
Into a scarlet flower.

Be the instigator and the artist
Be the catalyst for new beginnings.

And in this way, as those around you change,
You will also transform Into something new,
Something beautiful, something magical.

This is my journey,
