Snake speaks

I am Snake.

My gift to you who have listened,

you who have opened your hearts

to the ways you two-legged ones

have wounded us all,

is that you have the power

to shed old skins,

become your true selves again.

Now, when all seems dullest,

darkest,

the struggle hardest

is the moment of emergence

into renewal, transformation.

Remember this.

When you are itchy,

scratchy, discontent,

in truth

you are about to burst

out of a skin that no longer fits.

Do not be afraid of this process.

Embrace it.
