I am Starfish.  My form reminds you of the sky, although I live under water. I chose my form for that reason.

          I am Starfish.  You think of me as a lowly form of life.  But I have one ability that has always fascinated you--I can regenerate a lost limb.

          I am Starfish.  Without doctors or hospitals or pills, I regrow what was destroyed.  My lesson is so clear, but you ignore it.

          I am Starfish.  Healing comes only from within--it cannot be imposed from outside.  Whether the wound or disease be of the mind, the emotions, or the Spirit, it cannot be healed unless you will it.

          I am Starfish.  The wounds and diseases we bear in the flesh are our choices.  I know this is a hard lesson for you, but each draws to itself its pain as well as its joy.

          I am Starfish.  Pain is a chance to grow--to learn--to transcend.  Pain is chosen.  Pain is never unrelated.

          I am Starfish.  My lesson is one of healing and of growth.  Pain shows the problem.  It is also your choice whether or not to let go of the pain and to truly heal.

          I am Starfish.  I chose my form to remind you that by opening yourself to healing, you are choosing to return to the stars.
