Wise, pseudo-twisty finish with an excellent build-up. Masterful work.

Yes, absolutely. And I like what Molly said. We have to remember that we’re the author of our own story so we can choose to change things around any time. I’m going through that now but instead of sitting by passively “to see what happens”, I’m taking matters into my own hand. It’s scary but empowering.

Belinda — This was a delightful discovery. I love poems that leave you with an important message and make you think.

Over time, I have learned to appreciate the tangles in my story. As I learn to slowly pry them apart, I also discover their secrets, which have helped me to grow. I imagine my tangles will always be there, but each one gives me a gift as I loosen it from the others. I used to get frustrated with this process and wanted to understand my story without all the effort, but now I see that it’s IN the untangling, that my story becomes clear to me.

You have a magical gift for making a very thoughtful post in only a few words. Thanks:~)

Love it. Simple. True.

I’ve decided not to tie up all my loose ends or start new ones. To focus on what I already have and grow what’s in front of me. Sometimes unlearning and letting go is what we need to do.

The tangled stories we weave. The stories told and the stories held back avoiding judgement. I love your poem,Belinda!

I think of pulling on a lose thread that reveals the intricate unseen connections. The connections may not be obvious… but they are there and essential to the whole fabric of our lives.
