Metamorphosis is about internal conflict. Internal conflict is a paradox. The reality of conflict cannot be contained except in the mind or body of something undergoing change.

The circumstances or choices that push us to reach for something are also those that cause us to feel and witness the conflicts we hold inside. Call them desires, emotions, hopes, fears: the process of change cause all of these to exist in conflict. Yet inside there is a coherent truth and logic. There is a piece of true self growing larger and more complete with everything we go through.

Change in progress is both a journey and state. Objects move blindly through one or the other. We are not objects. We hold both. Uncertainty is how we learn to see.
