unravel

i always loved that word.

it brings up an image of a nicely knit-top slowly untangling the knits to reveal whats underneath.

or a scenery thats unfolding right before our eyes.

i was happily trudging in the internet one april night when i came upon a blog announcing how one starts to unravel the mysteries of oneself by joining a self discovery course.

what caught me were the words that said " ways to see yourself". how timely.. it was the time i was in between flying to Prague for a mini break and to Cebu right after for my brother's wedding while i was bombarded with wants i knew i could do without (babies? or uni? babies or uni?).

i was in a crossfire of listening to the many voices in my soul, that needed enriching.

my brain is enriched with academic input from university work. my heart is enriched with my work in occupational therapy, so are my hands. but my soul needed enriching. to dig deep behind the materialism that faces me day in and out (did i really need that new top?), and just digging more deep underneath the cynicism that i see day to day when i talk to people who hold the "ive been there and done that" attitude, its knackering (for the lack of a better term) and soul destroying most often than not.

the promise of seeing myself in a different way and looking and digging deeper was so inviting (and so refreshingly positive) that i decided to enrol in its late summer intake (coz i knew i was free from university classes). i emailed Susannah,the woman behind the course and the rest is history.


let the unravelling begin.






me, midnight coffee-cafe crawl in Prague...our last night in the city.

how timely too. something to keep my hands and mind busy while i fiddle impatiently for my siblings' visas to come through.

will you unravel with me? *Hugs*
