Transformation,
Inspirational Poem by Maria Mar
2012
Introduction Transformation. A great word that speaks of magic, alchemy and creativity. We intuitively know that transformation is our ride out of the old dusty roads we no longer want to travel and into the road that will take us to our dream. So we want it. Right? Change. Now wait a minute! Change is scary. We are not so sure that we want change. Change means leaving our habits and venturing into The Unknown. Change is hard work. Change feels like we are going to lose something; perhaps everything, even our identity. So we resist change.
Transformation IS change. Transformation is the transportation that takes you from where you are to where you want to be. When you resist change, you are really resisting life. When you fight life, there’s a lot of stress and inevitable failure. This issue’s poem, Transformation, takes you into the life of a caterpillar that’s going about its ordinary life, dreaming of skies and blossoms while it digs in the mud. That’s us before transformation strikes. We are complaining about where we are and wanting to be somewhere else. But secretly we don’t believe it’s possible, so we keep digging. Then something happens. Something miraculous that seems to come “out of the blue” ~but in reality it comes from deep within us. The transformation begins. It may come dressed in fatigue:

crisis, chaos, divorce, unemployment, bankruptcy, homelessness, loss of friends, disease. So we fight it, like caterpillar did at the beginning. But if we hear our true nature, we will understand that these forces are responding to the call of our soul. We will stop fighting and ride the Transformation into our new station. Join this caterpillar as it begins the miraculous journey that will transform it into a butterfly. Realize this: in order for the butterfly to be born, the caterpillar has to die. All its cells turn literally into mush. As the caterpillar cells die, new cells called Imaginal Cells are born. These are the cells of the butterfly. What a splendid Transformation! I hope that as you journey into this poem, you may begin to release the fear that triggers resistance to change. I invite you to embrace the death of the old self so that the new you, the true you, the Dream you, may be born from its ashes. Become imaginal! Light and love, Maria Mar The Dream Alchemist

Transformation is the transportation of the Soul. Just like a vehicle takes you from Point A to Point B, transformation takes you from where you are to where you want to be in your life. Maria Mar The Dream Alchemist

I was again crawling down into the mud, opening yet another wound in the wrinkled, earthen body.

Transformation,
Inspirational Poem by Maria Mar
Once again I burrowed deeply, Devouring the memories, Releasing the toxins. How ordinary, lowly, disenchanting! How un-heroic, run-of-the-mill: my life.

My heart took insult drumming madly, so feverishly that for a second I did not feel the rest of my body warble into madness. Trembling frantically, I broke down.

I enthusiastically released my old self. I made it easy on death to devour every inch of mud clinging to my being. I was humming a hymn to my death.

Humming a high-pitch song. A dream of wings and blossoms. A dream of rainbow colors and eyes that flew into the light. A dream of changing winds and pollination.

I had often imagined flying to be hard. I had sometimes imagined it easy. But I had not imagined flying to be now, Now, as my wings unfold, Now as I take to the wind. Now, as I drink from the flower On which I once crawled.
