A beautiful newborn baby, a rotting corpse, then a clean, pristine skeleton to be looked at again.

A cute little caterpillar, an avoidable chrysalis, and then a bright, pretty butterfly.

A simple and gorgeous landscape, an ugly, eyesore construction site, before a beautiful house out on the horizon.

I look down at my own bloody hands, 

my own little cocoon,

and my own sticks and stones,

and I ask myself: Is all change this hard to look at?
