Really loved this piece - read it to my 16 yo who is currently in the mush phase and I cried when I read it out loud!! She thought I was a bit weird but I think the message resonated.
Oh, that's brilliant Manfreda! I'm glad it resonated and that you shared it with her. It can be hard to be in the mush, but it's often part of the process of change and growth. Hope it helped give a bit of perspective to your 16yo.
Oh my gosh, I hadn't before reading Motherhood. But another reader wrote in and mentioned that bees do it too! Wild world of insect factoids (about mush).

I share your shock and fascination with this caterpillar going to mush going to butterfly. Never heard it before.
