Digesting a life: Embodying transformation through creative writing
New Writing, Vol.16(1), pp.50-58

Abstract
What does essential transformation entail? How does the caterpillar become a butterfly? What supports transformation inside the cocoon? This paper considers these questions alongside embodied struggles, experiences and insights of living a life-including situations of darkness and waiting amongst elements of depression, grief and loss. In this piece, contemplative and creative storying generates sparks in the soupy darkness, offering catalysts for dialogue, and resources for supporting de/composition and re/emergence.
