Everyone makes a fuss over the butterfly and the miracle of transformation. The moment when a new butterfly takes its wings is breathtaking. But inside the chrysalis is where the miracle takes place, sheltered there in the dark, away from all eyes.
Where do you find space that allows you transform in your own way and time?
I believe that I am often in a transformative state when I am playing the piano, usually at times when I am playing “just for myself”. I can separate myself from duties, other needs of the world, and consider that being able to play the piano was one the best gifts that I received as a child. These lessons were especially valuable to me because, Mrs. Oka T Sullivan, taught classical style but also gave us instruction in learning guitar chording for the piano so I can easily play a song combining
the melody with the chording.
