There I was dancing…
As I danced with two bright and sparkly tassel wands I was entranced by the music, arms and body wildly moving around. Suddenly, I stopped and looked down at the wands, as they had become all tangled up. Right in the middle of the dance floor I stood there gazing at the multi-colored knotted mess I had created. And, while the music carried on and dancers moved around me, I wondered what would it take to untangle this mess, or if I even wanted to bother.
‘Maybe’, I thought, ‘I should just go put these wands back’, and pretend I had nothing to do with them. The thought continued, ‘Oh, this is too big of a problem to deal with, I’ll never get this untangled’. And then it occurred to me, that this was like my relationship with my husband- knotted up, stagnant, neither free, and that I just wanted to put away that discomfort and pretend nothing was wrong.
What was this dance trying to tell me?
But then, as I stood there, I realized that maybe it was possible to untangle the mess. I began working them, unraveling, unknotting, and then slowly, and with time and patience, I got the two wands untangled from each other, though one was still quite knotted individually. Pretty streaming colors, yet one still a tangled mess. Was this me or was this my husband?
Movement and music swirled around me, and I still stood there, intent on solving this next dilemma. ‘I can do this’, I thought to myself. Who it was almost didn’t matter, as I was on task, and had renewed faith that I could solve this problem. I could separate myself from him, not be forever entwined and ‘tied up’. I wanted this, and believed I could flow colorfully and freely. Over the next few minutes I was able to untangle the rats’ nest, and there I stood with two individual colorful wands, flowing freely.
I learned I could untangle myself…
I felt immense satisfaction in my accomplishment. What I learned here was that I am capable of untangling myself from him, and by doing so, we could both flow freely, be ourselves. But, I needed trust, and quite a bit of patience. I felt confident that I could figure out the kinks and tangles in my relationship. We could untangle the knots we had created and we may be free flowing once again.
