This wonderful quote from St. Teresa reminds
us all to shed our False Personality and get on with the Work.
~S
"..And so when the silkworm is fully developed,
it begins to build the house in which it will die
(and becomes a butterfly) ... So let's get on with
it my friends! Let's do the work quickly and spin
the silken cocoon, relinquishing our
self-centeredness and personal willfulness,
and giving up our attachment to worldly things.
We have learned exactly what to do. Let's
do it! Let it die. Let the silkworm die. This is the
natural outcome once it has done what it was
created to do. Then we will see God, and see
ourselves nestled inside his greatness like the
silkworm in her cocoon."
---St.Teresa of Avila
