It’s no secret, how over the course of time, we tend to do things we don’t want to, loved people who didn’t love us back, got betrayed, hurt, wounded, until the heart was shredded apart…all of these, making small knots on the fabric of our soul, serving us as reminders…reminders so that we never let anyone wound us again, betray us, or reject us again.
**
But why the reminders? The soul has no memory of pain, it is eternal, it can never be wounded or die…all it has is an inherent desire to be free; to rise above pain. It does not get discolored, nor does it know revenge…It teaches you to unknot. Because knots weigh you down. They teach you to remember, but never let you fly. Soar high…UNTIE.
