Dear members,
Please share with me a favourite piece of poetry or prose that you feel describes the process of individuation.
Recently I discovered this poem and felt an instant YES!
Warmly,
Esther
I Am Like A Rose by DH Lawrence
I am myself at last; now I achieve
My very self, I, with the wonder mellow,
Full of fine warmth, I issue forth in clear
And single me, perfected from my fellow.
Here I am all myself. No rose-bush heaving
Its limpid sap to culmination has brought
Itself more sheer and naked out of the green
In stark-clear roses, than I to myself am brought.
