“Narrative” Mind

4 Comments

When narrative mind twists old hurts,

stories into

tangled balls of

twine that roll and

 

ricochet, sapping energy

that could be used

in ways that move

one to wholeness,

 

Take a deep breath, feel the air move

from nose to toes.

See that twisted

twine float away.
