I love how you used the jellyfish example to trigger an exploration of the inner self!

First of all, I love the short poem.

Second, I love the analogy and the discussion of the immortal jellyfish. Many psychologists say that we must allow pain and sorrow to enter and inhabit us rather than seeking to avoid it at all costs—that it is part of growing and moving forward.

So fascinating. I liked how you were likening it to our inner selves. I love how you share a poem with each post also.

infinitely cool that this creature embodies the fact that descent is necessary for resurrection so concretely and undeniably, showing us that this concept is fact, rather than metaphor. one of my favorite posts so far. <3
