An Aha Moment from an Unlikely Source

I recently had an aha moment while watching a cicada.

That’s not a typo. I really do mean the insect.

You may recognize yourself in my story.

I was walking my dog when a cicada dropped out of a tree about ten feet in front of me. After I stopped cringing about how close I came to having it fall on my head, I noticed it was struggling.   

Was it injured? Dying?

The struggle went on for several minutes (I have a very patient, very old dog). I don’t know why I was so intrigued by this cicada, but I somehow felt a need for resolution.

I assumed the cicada would eventually be very still.

Wrong!

Much to my surprise, this little one crawled out from its shell and flew away!

I was happy for the cicada!

Then I had my aha.

🌟 How wonderful to be so brave to take off into the wild world without the proverbial armor!

🌟 How wonderful to grow as big as possible!

🌟 How wonderful to endure struggle and then soar! 

And then I thought of my logo. Different people interpret it differently, but everyone agrees wings are involved. (I’ll never reveal what I think it is.😊)                                             

Are you ready to be like the cicada?
