Change can be a beautiful thing, it can be hard, but in the end so worth it. When I was trying to think of things to describe how change can be beautiful, the first thing that came to my mind was a flower blooming. It starts out as a seed, grows into a stem, then a bud, then it changes into a flower. When a flower blooms, it is at it's prime state of beauty. I think when we make changes in our lives as humans, we can be at our prime state. Sure, change can be a bad thing too, but I'm talking the good change. To change is to become; to become transformed, to become different, to become something new. Right now, I'm striving to change, to bloom, to become something new. I want to be that beautiful flower that glorifies the Lord just with it's existence, with it's mere presence. I know in order to become, I have to change. I have to change my shame into honor, my anger into love and forgiveness, and my distrust, doubt, fear, and apprehension into faith.
''But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image.''
--2 Corinthians 3:16-19

this is a beautiful post, allye. (and a beautiful picture--did you take it?) change has always been really hard for me...if i'm happy with things, why make them different? i know with my head that change is good, just not always with my heart--ya know? but, i really like your analogy. it's a good way to look at it. :)
