C16 - Sunday, April 17, 1983 - North Shore News the growing edge TWO WEEKS ago I ended up my column with these words: “It’s fun being aware that all of us are at the growing edge.” That comment was nothing more than a bubbling to the surface of a particular bit of awareness I have for which | am deeply grateful. I was not saying that everyone HAS that awareness, nor that everyone SHOULD have it. My claim was simply that when | am aware that all of us are living at the growing edge, | am very happy about it. It is an exciting ex- perience for me. But some people are so weighed down with = the heaviness of life that it is difficult, for them, to imagine themselves living at the growing edge of life. Sometimes we see so little light ahead. Sometimes the barricades seem _ insur- mountable. Sometimes the weight of responsibilities and concerns and fears weigh almost, (but not quite) too much for us to carry. We feel captivated and enclosed and imprisoned without any opportunity to rejoice in life let alone sense thal we are at its growing edge. When our tiny lights are flickering, it is no cinch to thrill exultantly in an- ticipation of the dawn. So how can we imagine our- selves at the growing edge in these places of darkness and heaviness and _ hopeless anxiety and fright? I've wondered about the caterpillar-cocoon-butterfly cycle. I wonder if a cater- pillar feels incomplete and unfulfilled. Does it sense it is near a new stage in its ex- perience? When in the cocoon does it feel hopeless? Does it feel it is about to die? I wonder if caterpillars in their cocoons say to them- selves, “Well - I guess it’s all over. ] haven't a chance in this imprisonment that I have allowed to control me. This must be it. There 1s no way for me to move into any sort of freedom again?” | suppose no one known the answer to that question. On the other hand, we don't know if they, in their cocoons are aware that they are going through a period of preparation for something great that is to come their way. There is ample evidence to suggest that caterpillars, m= their own way, bring it on themselves First, they slowly crawl in awkwardness, then they go through a time of preparation for cmergence, and soon they expenence transformation that lets them fly!
