This is (I hope) going to be a short one, and here's why: Five hour class yesterday, Five hour class today, and a one-hour class I taught and so spent another couple hours preparing for. And then a deep, long conversation with my spiritual accountability buddy.
The Caterpillar is not dead, in fact, I think the day or two when it was not moving was because it was undergoing a mini-transformation into something twice its previous size. It then kept growing every day until it was swoll and resplendent in its jewel-like, plump cuteness. It got so big it was nomming on the stems of the dill plant like it had been nomming on the fine leaves. Then a bunch of other cool stuff happened (I do have pictures, if I remember and have time I'll post them at some point.) and it is now part-way through the transformation where it will eventually shed its caterpillar skin and become a chrysalis.
I feel that this series of events is symbolically linked to my own transformation, as I undergo uncomfortable but ultimately positive changes. I'm not a hundred percent sure what the changes are, but I don't think the caterpillar knows exactly what it's becoming either.
I think my transformation has to do with self-acceptance. More of it, specifically.
Yup, managed to keep it short. Not that I want to deprive you of my long rambling verbiage, but I'm quite sleepy.
Business hours are over:

(this link starts the video near the end, which is what I'm referencing with my sign off, but the entire video is quite funny and worth the watch from the beginning if you're so inclined. Flight of the Concords. The lyrics are slightly not safe for work? It's pretty tame; it's a comedy song and uses no bad words, but it is about "business time.")
