Untangle the Wrapping

"One of the greatest regrets in life is being

what others would want you to be,

rather than being yourself."

Shannon L. Alder

In childhood, we learn to hide parts of our lovely selves that adults do not seem to approve.  The hiding of the self begins early and become repressed into darkness.  What we perceive to be unacceptable aspects link together forming something similar to a strand of yarn.  The attached pieces begin to roll into a large ball. Eventually, the large wad leaves no space to breathe.

Not being aligned with the self causes conflict not only within, but on the outside as well.  What happens to be hidden can trigger physical discomfort, mental unrest, and spiritual conflict.  It is at this point we begin to pull upon the thread and untangle the wrapping of the gift within.

Individuals build strength as they unfold.  Bearing the truth is uplifting and sharing it with the world can be exhilarating. Our unexpected fullness can lead us into unimaginable destinations beyond our earlier dreams.
