Dear diary - Butterfly Freefall✨

Like a caged bird learning to fly into the unbridled blue sky, inching towards the edge, Tragedy to Triumph was the leap to begin the process.
Tentatively wings spread - first, the left wing of storied recall and then the right wing of audience connection.
Frantically I descend quickly with momentary freefall.
Innate confidence transcends, and recognizing gravity's natural downward pull, I focus instead on the support of the wind beneath my wings.
With acknowledgement comes calm, and the lure of the distant horizon and the beckoning of purpose become clearer.
All are assimilated and actualized by the reality that the comfort of the cage is fading.
It's too early to tell the final destination, but the leap was made, and flying is in motion.

Observers. Neighbours of our Drupal technological ecosystem take notice.
Adjacent industry leaders offer unproven powerful tools and interesting challenges.
They impose transformation. 
Now I am a butterfly.
My wings are new and unproven.
Each gust of wind changes my direction so effortlessly, so frustratingly.
A growth mindset is required, as are lessons in resilience.
The distant horizon remains, and the beckoning of purpose persists.
I may see the flowers more closely, more vibrantly with these fragile wings, but the energy and effort required are daunting.
The weighted blessing of sparkled pollen and new perspectives lead my skeptic sight.
But I was a bird.
Or am I still?
