Spiritual Hermit Crabs
That shell was never your home.....
It’s painful to outgrow the form you’ve called your home for such a long time. We all go through some form of this. Hometown. Perspective. Even religious practice. And religious practice is hard because a lot of religious practice is about identity and where we feel like we belong.
So when you feel the claustrophobia and the tightness... it’s overwhelming to think you don’t fit anymore and you need to change in some way.
But the wonder and the gift of transformation is this:
Awakening to the truth that your shell was never your home...
The ocean is.
