Katherine,

At this moment my book is in my room and my BF is sleeping having worked a
12 hr. shift last night but... basically the cocoon phase is a VERY INTENSE
going deep within phase which is accompanied by a deep external silence.
I've been there for nearly 2 years. I come out and get chatty for a few
days and then go back.
Just know, on the other side, is the BUTTERFLY......she cries with
longing!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLESSINGS of GRACE for u ALL,
Gina
