UGLY DUCKLING OR BEAUTIFUL SWAN
“Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.” – Hans Christian Andersen
My favorite fairy tale is The Ugly Duckling. Once upon a time, as the story goes, a duck sat on a nest of eggs. When they hatched, one of the hatchlings from the brood looked different from the others. He was not accepted by his siblings because he looked different and their bullying led to him thinking of himself as ugly. He eventually left for his own peace of mind, yet still seeing himself as ugly. As it turns out, the ducking was not a duck at all, but was a swan. As he grew, he became the beautiful swan he was born to be.
Dear Angels, The story of The Ugly Duckling is one that resonates with many of us. It's a tale of transformation, of finding oneself amidst the challenges of life. But beneath the surface of this classic story lies a deep spiritual journey that mirrors our own paths to self-realization and inner peace. The dark days of struggle is crucial. It represents the awakening of the soul, a call to embark on a journey towards self-discovery. The duckling's discomfort in his environment symbolizes the soul’s yearning to return to its true nature, which is often obscured by the noise of the world and the judgments of others.
Dear Ones, the journey to self-realization is not always easy, but it is essential. Each of you has the potential to undergo a similar transformation, to move from a place of self-doubt and misunderstanding to one of self-acceptance and spiritual fulfillment. The duckling’s journey is a reminder that you are all, in essence, swans. No matter how the world perceives you or how you perceive yourselves, your true nature is one of beauty and divinity. The spiritual journey is about peeling away the layers of illusion and returning to this truth. When you are no longer bound by the judgments of others or by your own misconceptions, you are free, fully embracing your true self.
Dear Angels, thank you. I love you. Namaste, y’all.
Today, I promise to see myself as the swan and not the ugly duckling.
