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.
