Knots
All of us are tangled up in knots.
We are tangled up with every cruel word we ever took to heart. We are tangled up from generations of oppression, from stereotypes and misunderstandings, from betrayal, from heartbreak and disappointment, from hurtful words that roll off the tongue of a person we love, from debilitating beliefs that have been instilled upon us. We are tangled because we are never taught to untangle, we are not even given a clear understanding of what it means to be tangled.
In the process of my own untangling, I hope that some of these ideas might be of use to others. We are all connected and all we need to do to have a profound impact on others is to be just the right temperature in their presence. We do it naturally if everything is flowing properly, and even given an environment which is far from ideal, we are always subconsciously seeking that equilibrium.

thats one beutiful tree to support your writing.
To be really free is letting go from the past. Thats easier said then done of course and an ongoing work in progress. My vehicle for this is meditation.
As we gain nothing to hold on to anger or pain from the past or fears of future challanges and what if questions. We need to focus on the current moment.
Holding on to anger at one person fe is like holding a burning piece of coal in your hand you are planning to throw but never do. The only person who gets hurt is yourself.
Sorry for the late reply!
I love reading your comments, you make me feel glad that I bother to write. The past and future all exist inside of now ;-)

It's the "not poetry" that comes off as beautifully poetic. :)
That's kind of my style :-D
Freedom is a must
Let's brainstorm ;-)
for reals :)
It's time to untangled ourselves from these knots.
That's the idea! That's why I write!
So true that the actions of the past hold true through the present. Recognizing the patterns within our lives and stepping outside of them consciously helps to heal not just yourself and your environment but generations to come.
Great post. :)
