Spring thunder rouses the insects in hibernation

The poem

春雷震起蟄中蟲脫卻塵凡出舊墉忽遇風雲交際處自然變化得成龍

In English

Spring thunder rouses the insects in hibernation,they shed the dust and leave their old wall.Suddenly they meet wind and cloud at a crossing,and naturally change and become a dragon.

What it says

Spring thunder wakes the hibernating insects and they leave their old dwelling. When wind and cloud meet at the right moment, they transform into a dragon. The poem is about waking after dormancy, encouraging you to step out of your old frame when the time comes.

A thought to take with you

When the moment comes, step bravely out of your comfort zone and try changing.
