“In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.”

It’s only when caterpillarness is done that one becomes a butterfly. That again is part of this paradox. You cannot rip away caterpillarness. The whole trip occurs in an unfolding process of which we have no control.

When your center is firm, when your faith is strong and unwavering, then it will not matter what company you keep.
