Disentangling

Life doesn’t move in a straight line, and sometimes it gets especially tangly and twisted. It’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant, trapped in a state that seems wrong. But transformation doesn’t happen without discomfort, and discomfort can become a threshold, an opening onto a new state of being. 

So stay with the unease, the tenderness and confusion. Sit within the tangle of yourself and let it be what it is. Sink deeply into the twists and turns, the worries and world weariness.


It may take some time, but eventually you’ll find you can do nothing other than begin to disentangle and unfurl.
