What is ‘champagne cork’ development?

CHAMPAGNE CORKS
 
The cork that was once securely
set in a champagne bottle
is now bobbing along in the sea,
not fixed any more but floating
with a new energy, a new life.
 
The cork that is no longer needed
has found a new place
and a different way of living.
It’s free now, floating with joy
on the Sea of Love.
 
The cork that we discarded
now shows us the way, and how
we too can have a different life.
It’s time for us to ‘pop’ and
set ourselves free.
 
So, think not as a cork,
but see instead the
oceans of the world,
the sky and universe above you
and the lands you will journey to.
 
It’s time to celebrate,
to be filled with wonder,
and to journey today,
for you are no longer a cork
but at the centre of everything.
