Come out, come out, whoever you are

A cocoon is effective only as a means of change

Kathleen Norris, From Acedia and Me

I used to have a little friend (now a grown up attorney!) 

 who would cross her baby arms and say

"no looka me, no talka me. no toucha me!"

The kid knew how to cocoon!

Hiding away from the world has its time 

 And it has its place

But when we are once again ready to face life

                                                     
                                                                  We should step out big!

We should emerge!

Refreshed and full of vibrancy

 Otherwise...we were just hanging around!

and that's poetiquejustis
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
 and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
