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.
(with thanks to mindfulness meditation teachers Kay and Phil Davidson)
