Untangled Threads offers you:

 

a thread ...

​

Just to hold, if that's all you need,

but it's a thread with potential

to connect us to ourselves

and then to weave our thread

with that of others.

​

If you do decide to take hold of the thread

take it just for yourself.

It comes with huge benefits

and limitless possibilities:

It's up to you where you take it.

 

If it ties you down, you can snap it, or

loosen it if it's too tight.

You can let go completely or leave an anchor.

Pick it up again, or just walk alongside it

from a distance, if that's what you need.

 

You may find that you just make frustrating knots.

Those knots have a purpose too.

They can be unpicked, with care,

or left as a mark - a scar of experience,

letting you move on.

 

Once you have taken comfortable ownership of the thread, you might try

to weave your thread with others.

If together we can make fabric

we will celebrate our connection .. together.

 

Taking hold of the thread will give you time.

Time without pressure or competition.

Time to sit.

Time to think.

Time to be yourself.
