Unravelling the Threads

I’m knotted up inside
Knit one purl one
As panic starts to rise
Slip one drop one
Tears betray my eyes
Knit one purl one
The child in me cries
Slip one drop one

It comes as no surprise
Knit one purl one
Fear is my disguise
Slip one drop one
My ego wants to hide
Knit one purl one
The truth of me inside
Slip one drop one

But damn it I shall try
Knit one purl one
To cast out every lie
Slip one drop one
And as my needles fly
Knit one purl one
Stitch love into the sky
Slip one drop one

Done.

About MANY PATHS, MANY VOICES

At Te Wahi Ora Women’s Retreat, with the guidance of Hilary Star, women have been sharing their creativity through writing.

We regularly run Women’s Writing Retreats. Our experience is that as we read and hear the words from these ‘many voices’, something new and healing begins to emerge from within us. We can also hear that the healing pathways that lead us individually into wholeness and wisdom, are amazingly varied!

This blog is a chance to glimpse and to add our own ‘voices’ to the ‘many paths’ women are using to move towards wholeness. Hence the name of our writers Blog - Many Paths, Many Voices.
