The Quiet Before Becoming

 

“Not every transformation roars. Some unfold in silence, in stillness, in the hush before the soul blooms.”

There is a moment the world rarely speaks of.
Not the victory.
Not the collapse.
But the breath in between.

It is the silence before the seed breaks open.
The hush before the storm becomes rain.
The stillness of the cocoon—unmoving on the outside, but alive with unraveling within.

This is the quiet before becoming.
And it is holy.

The Slow Alchemy of Change

Healing is not a straight ascent.
It is often a disorientation—
a dissolving of what was,
without yet knowing what will be.

Like molten gold cooling into form,
the soul must soften before it shapes.

You may feel lost.
But you are only between names.

There is wisdom in the waiting.
There is becoming in the stillness.

What Is Lost in Order to Grow

To become something new,
you must grieve what no longer fits.

Old roles.
Old beliefs.
Even old dreams.

Growth demands a quiet mourning—
not because you failed,
but because you dared to evolve.

And in that letting go,
something sacred is made possible.

Becoming Requires Surrender

You cannot rush the unfurling.
Just as a wave must wait for the wind,
just as a butterfly must wait in darkness,
you too must trust the pause.

This stillness is not nothing.
It is everything preparing to be born.

Let yourself be quiet.
Let yourself tremble.
Let yourself not know.

Because in the breath you hold,
you are not stuck—
you are sacredly suspended.

And when the time is right,
you will rise.

But not as who you were—
as who you were always meant to be.
